THE BACCHANTE, AND OTHER POEMS. By Walter Hogg.
Med. 16mo. gilt top, 2s. 6d. net.
The Literary World.—'There can be no doubt that Mr. Hogg has the root of the matter in him.'
The Glasgow Herald.—'Many of the minor pieces are very fine.'
JOHN OF DAMASCUS. By Douglas Ainslie. Crown 8vo. half-bound, 5s. net. Second Edition.
The Outlook.—'On the whole it is safe to say that we have not had anything quite so spontaneous, so fresh, so deft, and so promising for a considerable time past. The author writes limpid and picturesque verse off the end of his pen, as it were, and without the smallest apparent effort. He rhymes you page on page of the soundest, frankest, and prettiest stuff, never getting out of breath, never faltering or hesitating, and never tumbling into the sloughs and quagmires that beset the long-winded. Choose where you will, there is something that takes you.... Wherever one turns, too, one finds a wisdom, an insight, and a flow of spirits that are miles away from the minor ruck, and that really sets one believing that Mr. Ainslie may be destined to help us right out of our precious hot-houses into the open road, where there is a wind and strength.'
ODES. By Laurence Binyon. With a Woodcut Title-page after William Strang. Crown 8vo. cloth gilt, 2s. 6d. net.
The Scotsman.—'Of a severe yet delicate beauty.'
The Athenæum.—'Mr. Binyon is slowly but surely winning for himself a distinguished place in the ranks of contemporary poetry. He has the right temper; he does not cry aloud in the streets, or make any attempt to catch the veering of the popular taste, but is content to write for the sake of having written, with invariable sincerity of thought, directness of vision, and conscientious craftsmanship. The best of these Odes are on the highest level of achievement.'
RUE. By Laurence Housman. Imp. 16mo. cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. net.
The Pall Mall Gazette.—'It is poetry, and not merely accomplished verse.'
THE VINE-DRESSER. By T. Sturge Moore. Fcap. 8vo. cloth gilt, 2s. 6d. net.
The Times.—'Mr. Moore's is an austere and somewhat stiff-jointed Muse, but she is of the true lineage. The lover of poetry will find evidence of this on every page.... Mr. Moore has an individual talent and a gift of distinction. The first poem in the book—a recipe for making Coän wine, supposed to have been "sent from Egypt with a fair robe of tissue to a Sicilian vine-dresser, B.C. 276"—is like a cameo with its clear-cut images of sea and Sicily.'
APHRODITE AGAINST ARTEMIS. A Play. Small Quarto. By T. Sturge Moore. Cloth gilt, 2s. 6d. net.
THE WHITE ALTAR. By Jesse Berridge. Fcap. 8vo. 3s. 6d. net.

THE STAR OF POLAND. By John G. Williamson. Fcap. 8vo. cloth gilt, 1s. net.
The Dundee Advertiser.—'[It] is written with both strength and tenderness, and is gemmed with lines that fix themselves in the memory.'
