EXAMINER.
"There is, without doubt, a good deal of humorous verse in this gaily got up and cleverly illustrated volume.... But there are better things than slang versides in Mr. Pennell's book, and more striking lines than those which are printed in black letters. The Derby Day offers a favourable example of a popular subject well treated, in which the scene is vividly and often poetically depicted. The Fight for the Championship, written in imitation of Lord Macaulay's Horatius, is also very well done.... The measure of the author's power may, however, be taken from the poem emtitled The Night Mail North, one of the best things the book contains..... Let Mr. Pennell trust to the original strength that is in him, and he may bestride his 'Pegasus' without fear."
