"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 1.

[ocr errors]

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. The

verse describing Socrates has the highest note of critical poetry.'-Spectator, February 17.

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

'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 16.

XVI

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. The "Inn of Strange Meetings" is a sprightly piece.'—Athenæum.

XVII

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.
