THE HELL-GATE OF SOISSONS and other Poems. (“The Song of the Guns.”) By Herbert Kaufman. Cloth, 4/6 net. Fifth Impression.
“A singular gift for expressing in verse the facts, the heroism, even the humours of war; and in some cases voices its ideals with real eloquence.”
The Times.

Daily Mail.
LYRA NIGERIA. By Adamu. (E. C. Adams). Cloth, 4/6 net. Second Impression.

There is something in these illustrations of Nigerian life akin to the style of Kipling and Service. The heart of the wanderer and adventurer is revealed, and in particular that spirit of longing which comes to all ... who have gone out to the far-lands of the world.”
