By A. CONAN DOYLE.
PUNCH.—‘Dr. Conan Doyle has well named his verse “Songs of Action.” It pulsates with life and movement, whether the scenes be laid on sea or land, on ship or on horseback.’
WORLD.—‘Dr. Conan Doyle has the gift of writing good rattling songs with all the swing of Rudyard Kipling.... His songs are full of high spirits and "go".’
Mr. Quiller Couch in the SPEAKER.—‘You may like them or not; you may think they were as easy to write as they are hard to get out of your memory; I make bold to promise that you will find it difficult to shut your memory upon them.’
PALL MALL GAZETTE.—‘We congratulate Dr. Doyle on a volume that will add to his reputation.’
ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.—‘Some of the most stirring rhymes of this age of new-awakened “Imperialism.” Two little pieces in particular, “The Song of the Bow,” and “A Ballad of the Ranks,” deserve to become classics of their kind.’
WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.—‘Dr. Conan Doyle’s songs are happily named. They are full of movement, and are for the most part moving. Especially full-blooded and buoyant are the hunting songs.’
BOOKMAN.—‘There is no question but that, if Mr. Kipling be first favourite with the soldiers, Mr. Doyle should be their Laureate’s lieutenant, and that huntsmen and golfers should have his songs in their hearts and upon their lips.’
