SONGS OF TWO WORLDS. By a NEW WRITER. Fcp. 8vo. cloth, 58..

'The volume is marked both by lyrical feeling and lyrical art... it is poetic both in substance and form.'-Daily News.

'There is genuine beauty in his work-bright pure thoughts and tender fancies.'-Scotsman.

'So free and unaffected that we cannot but believe that the "new writer" must be a very old student, and a long-practised manipulator in the mechanics of verse.'-Manchester Examiner.

THE INN OF STRANGE MEETINGS, AND OTHER POEMS. By MORTIMER COLLINS. Crown 8vo. 58.

'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.

VI

ASPROMONTE, AND OTHER POEMS. Second Edition, cloth, 48. 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.

THE DREAM AND THE DEED, AND OTHER POEMS. By PATRICK SCOTT, Author of 'Footpaths between Two Worlds' &c. Fcp. 8vo. cloth, 58.

'A bitter and able satire on the vices and follies of the day, literary, social, and political.'-Standard.
