EASTERN LEGENDS AND STORIES IN ENGLISH VERSE. By Lieutenant Norton Powlett, Royal Artillery. Crown 8vo. 5s.

“Have we at length found a successor to Thomas Ingoldsby? We are almost inclined to hope so after reading ‘Eastern Legends.’ There is a rollicking sense of fun about the stories, joined to marvellous power of rhyming, and plenty of swing, which irresistibly reminds us of our old favourite.”—Graphic.

EDITH; or, Love and Life in Cheshire. By T. Ashe, Author of the “Sorrows of Hypsipyle,” etc. Sewed. Price 6d.

“A really fine poem, full of tender, subtle touches of feeling.”—Manchester News.

“Pregnant from beginning to end with the results of careful observation and imaginative power.”—Chester Chronicle.

THE GALLERY OF PIGEONS, AND OTHER POEMS. By Theo. Marzials. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d.

“A conceit abounding in prettiness.”—Examiner.

“Contains as clear evidence as a book can contain that its composition was a source of keen and legitimate enjoyment. The rush of fresh, sparkling fancies is too rapid, too sustained, too abundant, not to be spontaneous.”—Academy.

THE INN OF STRANGE MEETINGS, AND OTHER POEMS. By Mortimer Collins. Crown 8vo. 5s.

“Abounding in quiet humour, in bright fancy, in sweetness and melody of expression, and, at times, in the tenderest touches of pathos.”—Graphic.

“Mr. Collins has an undercurrent of chivalry and romance beneath the trifling vein of good-humoured banter which is the special characteristic of his verse.”—Athenæum.

EROS AGONISTES. By E. B. D. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d.

“The author of these verses has written a very touching story of the human heart in the story he tells with such pathos and power, of an affection cherished so long and so secretly.... It is not the least merit of these pages that they are everywhere illumined with moral and religious sentiment suggested, not paraded, of the brightest, purest character.”—Standard.

“A remarkable book of genuine poetry.”—Evening Standard.

“Genuine power displayed.”—Examiner.

“ ... Poetical feeling is manifest here, and the diction of the poem is unimpeachable.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

“He has successfully attempted what has seldom before been well done, viz., the treatment of subjects not in themselves poetical from a poetic point of view.”—Graphic.

“Intensity of feeling, a rugged pathos, robustness of tone, and a downrightness of expression which does not shrink from even slang if it seem best fitted for his purpose.”—Illustrated London News.

“The art of ballad-writing has long been lost in England, and Mr. Payne may claim to be its restorer. It is a perfect delight to meet with such a ballad as ‘May Margaret’ in the present volume.”—Westminster Review.

ASPROMONTE, AND OTHER POEMS. Second Edition, cloth. 4s. 6d.

“The volume is anonymous, but there is no reason for the author to be ashamed of it. The ‘Poems of Italy’ are evidently inspired by genuine enthusiasm in the cause espoused; and one of them, ‘The Execution of Felice Orsini,’ has much poetic merit, the event celebrated being told with dramatic force.”—Athenæum.

“The verse is fluent and free.”—Spectator.

A NEW VOLUME OF SONNETS. By the Rev. C. Tennyson Turner. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d.

“Mr. Turner is a genuine poet; his song is sweet and pure, beautiful in expression, and often subtle in thought.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

“The dominant charm of all these sonnets is the pervading presence of the writer’s personality, never obtruded but always impalpably diffused. The light of a devout, gentle, and kindly spirit, a delicate and graceful fancy, a keen intelligence irradiates these thoughts.”—Contemporary Review.

GOETHE’S FAUST. A New Translation in Rime. By the Rev. C. Kegan Paul. Crown 8vo. 6s.

“His translation is the most minutely accurate that has yet been produced....”—Examiner.

“Mr. Paul evidently understands ‘Faust,’ and his translation is as well suited to convey its meaning to English readers as any we have yet seen.”—Edinburgh Daily Review.

“Mr. Paul is a zealous and a faithful interpreter.”—Saturday Review.

THE DREAM AND THE DEED, AND OTHER POEMS. By Patrick Scott, Author of “Footpaths between Two Worlds,” etc. Fcap. 8vo, cloth, 5s.

“A bitter and able satire on the vice and follies of the day, literary, social, and political.”—Standard.

“Shows real poetic power coupled with evidences of satirical energy.”—Edinburgh Daily Review.

SONGS OF TWO WORLDS. By a New Writer. Fcap. 8vo, cloth, 5s. Second Edition.

“These poems will assuredly take high rank among the class to which they belong.”—British Quarterly Review, April 1st.

“If these poems are the mere preludes of a mind growing in power and in inclination for verse, we have in them the promise of a fine poet.”—Spectator, February 17th.

“No extracts could do justice to the exquisite tones, the felicitous phrasing and delicately wrought harmonies of some of these poems.”—Nonconformist, March 27th.

“It has a purity and delicacy of feeling like morning air.”—Graphic, March 16th.

THE LEGENDS OF ST. PATRICK AND OTHER POEMS. By Aubrey de Vere. Crown 8vo. 5s.

“Mr. De Vere’s versification in his earlier poems is characterised by great sweetness and simplicity. He is master of his instrument, and rarely offends the ear with false notes. Poems such as these scarcely admit of quotation, for their charm is not, and ought not to be, found in isolated passages; but we can promise the patient and thoughtful reader much pleasure in the perusal of this volume.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

“We have marked, in almost every page, excellent touches from which we know not how to select. We have but space to commend the varied structure of his verse, the carefulness of his grammar, and his excellent English.”—Saturday Review.
