Tabb, John Banister. Selection from the verses of the Rev. John Tabb, made by Alice Meynell. **$1. Small.
“The deliciously tender songs of childhood, of flowers, of lament, the delicate fancies and symbols ... and the sacred poems, which in their union of individuality and universality remind us often of the best of Herbert, are the work of one who is none the less a poet, because four lines often contain his thought.”—Acad.
“One of Mr. Tabb’s leading characteristics is his power of suggesting by the lightest of touches, the most delicate of hints, some mighty truth.”

“His tiny poems like the psychologist’s pinpricks, are very perfect tests of poetic sensibility.” Ferris Greenslet.

“Mrs. Meynell’s selection, which is not free from misprints nor immaculately edited, should at least prove a valuable introduction to the four little volumes of ‘Poems,’ ‘Lyrics,’ ‘Child verse,’ and ‘Later lyrics.’”
