SOME PRESS OPINIONS.GUARDIAN.—‘The new edition is as dainty a one as any poet could desire for his work, and it will no doubt win for Mr. Bridges a considerable portion of the many new readers whom he deserves.’WORLD.—‘Beautiful and scholarly.... Mr. Bridges has firmly established himself in the favour of students of poetry, and the present edition should still further extend the appreciation of a writer whose work is always poetic and sincere.’BOOKMAN.—‘Mr. Bridges is more than an excellent craftsman.... He is of those that speak to the heart, and not merely to the aesthetic senses.’DAILY CHRONICLE.—‘Mr. Bridges is an artist whose work cannot fail to give pleasure to all who care for artistry in English verse.... We find here in full measure his sane and manly spirit, his love of life, of beauty and of England, his refinement of thought and of form, his cool and fresh lyric quality.’SCOTSMAN.—‘This new edition cannot but do good to English poetry all the world over, if it makes Mr. Bridges and his work better known than they are.’GLASGOW HERALD.—‘Mr. Robert Bridges, as a poet, has one supreme merit. He is always clear, pure, and understandable; so that it is ever a pleasure to read his verse, which is charged with knowledge of nature, her aspects, moods, and melodies.... Indeed, in reading the poems of Mr. Bridges one cannot but think that he is a reincarnation of some of the noble ancient poets.’ST. JAMES’S GAZETTE.—‘Mr. Bridges is a poet who has established the right to be read as a whole by all who take contemporary literature seriously.’

SONGS OF ACTION.
ByA. 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 Couchin theSPEAKER.—‘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.’Fcap. 8vo, 5s.
