POETRY

RUDYARD KIPLING.  BARRACK-ROOM BALLADS; And Other Verses.  By RUDYARD KIPLING. Eighth Edition.  Crown 8vo. 6s.

A Special Presentation Edition, bound in white buckram, with extra gilt ornament. 7s. 6d.

’Mr. Kipling’s verse is strong, vivid, full of character ...  Unmistakable genius rings in every line.’—­Times.

’The disreputable lingo of Cockayne is henceforth justified before the world; for a man of genius has taken it in hand, and has shown, beyond all cavilling, that in its way it also is a medium for literature.  You are grateful, and you say to yourself, half in envy and half in admiration:  “Here is a book; here, or one is a Dutchman, is one of the books of the year.” ’_—­National Observer_.

’"Barrack-Room Ballads” contains some of the best work that Mr. Kipling has ever done, which is saying a good deal.  “Fuzzy-Wuzzy,” “Gunga Din,” and “Tommy,” are, in our opinion, altogether superior to anything of the kind that English literature has hitherto produced.’—­Athenaeum.

’The ballads teem with imagination, they palpitate with emotion.  We read them with laughter and tears; the metres throb in our pulses, the cunningly ordered words tingle with life; and if this be not poetry, what is?’—­Pall Mall Gazette.

HENLEY.  LYRA HEROIC A:  An Anthology selected from the best English Verse of the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th Centuries.  By WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY. Crown 8vo.  Buckram, gilt top. 6s.

Mr. Henley has brought to the task of selection an instinct alike for poetry and for chivalry which seems to us quite wonderfully, and even unerringly, right.’—­Guardian.

“Q” THE GOLDEN POMP:  A Procession of English Lyrics from Surrey to Shirley, arranged by A.T.  QUILLER COUCH. Crown 8vo.  Buckram. 6s.

Also 40 copies on hand-made paper. Demy 8vo.  L1, 1s. net.

Also 15 copies on Japanese paper. Demy 8vo.  L2, 2s. net

’A delightful volume:  a really golden “Pomp."’—­SPECTATOR.

’Of the many anthologies of ‘old rhyme’ recently made, Mr. Couch’s seems the richest in its materials, and the most artistic in its arrangement.  Mr. Couch’s notes are admirable; and Messrs. Methuen are to be congratulated on the format of the sumptuous volume.’—­Realm.

“Q.”  GREEN BAYS:  Verses and Parodies.  By “Q.,” Author of ’Dead Man’s Rock,’ etc. Second Edition.  Fcap. 8vo. 3s. 6d.

’The verses display a rare and versatile gift of parody, great command of metre, and a very pretty turn of humour.’—­Times.

H.O.  BEECHING.  LYRA SACRA:  An Anthology of Sacred Verse.  Edited by H.C.  BEECHING, M.A. Crown 8vo.  Buckram, gilt-top. 6s.
