The Disciple, and other Poems.
By George MacDonald, LL.D., Author of " Within and Without," &c. Crown 8vo. 6s.
" Mr. MacDonald is, before all else, a poet. His poems are, after all, his best productions. . . . No extracts and no phrase of criticism could convey to the reader any idea of that peculiarly beautiful aroma of spirituality floating always in the moon-like tenderness of his manner, which constitutes the true individuality of Mr. MacDonald as a writer. Of its order this volume is unique, and it is full of wisdom, beauty, and exhilarating brightness. ' —
