RUBÁIYÁT.
By Omar Kháyyám. Translated by Edward Fitzgerald. Ornamental Borders and Illustrations in Colour by Frank Brangwyn, A.R.A. Post 8vo, inlaid cloth extra, 3s. 6d. net.
“One, a fancy portrait of the poet himself, sitting reading in his garden, is practically monochrome, the rest are fine pieces of colour, sometimes, as in the picture of the potters in the market-place, low in tone, in other cases, an opulent scheme of reds, ambers, and russets. The Eastern character of the poem, its profusion and richness, are happily reflected in these pictures.”—Yorkshire Post.
DULALL, THE FOREST GUARD.
By C. E. Gouldsbury, late of the Indian Police. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 3s. 6d.
“A pleasant tale of sport and adventure in the forests of Bengal. The author’s own experience of an Indian forest, and knowledge of the way in which tiger hunting is carried on with the aid of elephants and beaters, has enabled him to indite some realistic descriptions and to give the proper local colour to his story. The narrative is so complete in detail as to be sufficiently convincing.”—Field.
