POEMS OF THE TOWN
By ERNEST McGAFFEY
16 mo. Flexible Leather. $1.25
The following are but a few extracts from many reviews received on Poems of the Town. Among this chorus of praise there has not been one dissenting voice.
"For terse English, for picturesque and appropriate imagery, for keen and faithful portraiture Mr. McGaffey has no superior. And there will be many to say that this book entitles him to recognition as the interpreter of his age."—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
"It is doubtful if any American poet has written a finer, more humane, more nobly and righteously wrathful outburst against the maladies of civilization than the poem in this collection entitled Laocoon of the Town."—St. Louis Mirror.
"His lyrics have that touch of universality which distinguishes true poetry from mere verse. It is not too much to say that Poems of the Town are certain to take a place among the best examples of American poetry."—Editorial Chicago Chronicle.
IRISH MIST AND SUNSHINE
BALLADS AND LYRICS BY
REV. JAMES B. DOLLARD
(Sliav-na-mon)
With an introduction by William O'Brien, M. P. With frontispiece. Small quarto. Cloth ornamental. $1.50
This is a book of ringing Irish ballads that will stir the heart of every lover of true poetry. "Here and there a verse may be as frankly unadorned as the peasant cabins themselves in their homely cloaks of thatch, but every line rings true to life and home and with the tone, as heartmoving as the Angelus which holds Millet's peasants in its spell," from Mr. O'Brien's introduction.
"Father Dollard's ballads have all the fire and dash of Kipling's, with a firmer poetic touch" says Mr. Nathan Haskell Dole.
FOUR DAYS OF GOD
By Harriet Prescott Spofford
With about 90 illustrations in color. Bound in white and gold and purple. Small 4 to. (Probably) $1.00.
It is quite impossible to describe adequately the surpassing charm of this book. We can say simply that it will appeal to every lover of nature who sees in her manifold beauties the living glories of the work of God.
No one can write more beautiful or sparkling prose than Mrs. Spofford and never has she been so absolutely charming as in Four Days of God.
The book has about 90 illustrations by Miss A. C. Tomlinson which catch the spirit of the text to perfection and with the harmonious print and paper and binding make the book a little gem.
