"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,

"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.

VII.

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.

VIII.

THE INN OF STRANGE
MEETINGS, AND OTHER
POEMS. By MORTIMER COL-
LINS. 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.

IX.

ASPROMONTE, & 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.

X.

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 vices and follies of the day, literary, social, and political."-Standard.

"Shows real poetic power coupled with evidences of satirical energy.' Edinburgh Daily Review.

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