“The fifty pages, by no means overcrowded, which Mr. Elvet Lewis has given us, go far to justify the hope that a new poet of genuine power has arisen among us. The thought is often singularly beautiful. The expression is so simple and so natural that it conceals the art. The delicacy of the workmanship may easily blind us to the strength. Mr. Lewis is essentially original, though his affinities are closest, perhaps, to Whittier and Lynch: but there is not a trace of imitation to be found in the book from one end to the other.”—Literary World.
“This little volume possesses a rare charm for the lovers of really good verse. The writer is evidently of the number of those whose spirituality is intense, and whose faith in, and hold of, the things “not seen and eternal” are vivid and strong. The opening poem, which gives the work its title—‘My Christ’ is singularly beautiful for the spirit of love, loyalty, and devotion which it breathes in every line. Altogether, the poems are of a high order, and quite worthy of ranking alongside such works as ‘The Lyra Innocentium’ and ‘The Christian Year.’”—Hull Times.
“The verses are worthy of Mr. Lewis’ poetic genius, and breathe a spirit of devotion which will certainly have an uplifting influence upon those who peruse the verses. Mr. Lewis has a pure style, and in the poems before us there are a few gems of thought which shew their originator to be an author of great ability.”—Llanelly Guardian.
“Sacred poems of great merit and beauty.”—Newcastle Daily Chronicle.

Wanted—An Heiress: A Novel.
By EVAN MAY.
“It is an entrancing story, and perfectly wholesome reading. In this work, the author of ‘The Greatest of These’ is at her best; and ‘Wanted, an Heiress’ may be pronounced a leading tale of the season.”—South Yorkshire Free Press.
“The story is well told.”—Northern Echo.
