SONGS OF TWO WORLDS. By a NEW WRITER. Fcap. 8vo, cloth, 5s.

"The New Writer' is certainly no tyro. No one after reading the first two poems, almost perfect in rhythm and all the graceful reserve of true lyrical strength, can doubt that this book is the result of lengthened thought and assiduous training in poetical form.

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

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

"Are we in this book making the acquaintance of a fine and original poet, or of a most artistic imitator? And our deliberate opinion is that the former hypothesis is the right one. It has a purity and delicacy of feeling like morning air."-Graphic, March 16th.

"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. describing Socrates has the highest note of critical poetry."—Spectator, Feb. 17th.

The verse

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.

65, Cornhill, and 12, Paternoster Row, London.

THE LEGENDS OF ST. PATRICK, & OTHER POEMS. By AUBREY DE VERE. Crown 8vo, 5s.

"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. All who believe that poetry should raise and not debase the social ideal, all who think that wit should exalt our standard of thought and manners, must welcome this contribution at once to our knowledge of the past and to the science of noble life.Saturday Review.

X.

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

"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.

The Inn of Strange Meetings' s a sprightly piece."-Athenæum.

"Abounding in quiet humour, in bright fancy, in sweetness and melody of expression, and, at times, in the tenderest ouches of pathos."-Graphic.

FREEDOM IN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
Edition. Six Sermons suggested by the Voysey Judgment.
In One Volume. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.

66 Every one should read them. No one can be insensible to the charm of his style, or the clear logical manner in which he treats his subject.”— Churchman's Monthly.

"We have to thank Mr. Brooke for a very clear and courageous exposition of theological views, with which we are for the most part in full sympathy."-Spectator.

"Interesting and readable, and characterized by great clearness of thought, frankness of statement, and moderation of tone.". · Church Opinion.

[ocr errors]

"A very fair statement of the views in respect to freedom of thought held by the liberal party in the Church of England.” — Blackwood's Magazine.

SERMONS PREACHED IN ST. JAMES'S CHAPEL, YORK STREET, LONDON. Sixth Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.

"No one who reads these sermons will wonder that Mr. Brooke is a great power in London, that his chapel is thronged, and his followers large and enthusiastic. They are fiery, energetic, impetuous sermons, rich with the treasures of a cultivated imagination."-Guardian.

"Mr. Brooke's sermons are shrewd and clever, and always readable. He is better off than many preachers, for he has something to say, and says it."- Churchman's Magazine.

"A fine specimen of the best preaching of the Episcopal pulpit.”— British Quarterly.
