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.

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

"One of the most promising of the books of verse by new writers which have appeared for a considerable time. Very little is wanted in the more artistic of these poems."-Civil Service Gazette, March 9th. "The author is a real poet."-Public Opinion, Feb. 17th.

'Many of the songs exhibit exquisite fancy and considerable imaginative power. We should have been glad to make further quotations from these admirable poems."-Manchester Examiner, Feb. 8th.

"The writer possesses, and has by much cultivation enhanced, the gift which is essential to lyrical poetry of the highest order."-Manchester Guardian, Jan. 11th.

"So healthy in sentiment and manly in tone that one cannot help feeling an interest in the writer."- Examiner Dec. 30th.

"The New Writer' is a thoroughly accomplished master of versification, his thought is clear and incisive, his faculty of expression and power of ornamentation ought to raise him to a high rank among the poets of the day."-Glasgow Herald, Dec. 28th.

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' is a

sprightly piece."—Athenæum.

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

ASPROMONTE, AND OTHER POEMS.

cloth, 4s. 6d.

Second Edition,

"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.

VII.

THE DREAM AND THE DEED, AND OTHER POEMS. By PATRICK SCOTT, Author of "Footpaths Between Two Worlds," etc. Fcap. 8vo, cloth, 5s.
