=The Speaker= (LONDON): "There are poems in 'In the Days when the World was Wide' which are of a higher mood than any yet heard in distinctively Australian poetry." =The Academy:= "These ballads (for such they mostly are) abound in spirit and manhood, in the colour and smell of Australian soil. They deserve the popularity which they have won in Australia, and which, we trust, this edition will now give them in England." =Newcastle Weekly Chronicle:= "Swinging, rhythmic verse." =Sydney Morning Herald:= "The verses have natural vigour, the writer has a rough, true faculty of characterisation, and the book is racy of the soil from cover to cover." =Bulletin:= "How graphic he is, how natural, how true, how strong." =Otago Witness:= "It were well to have such books upon our shelves.... They are true history." THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER AND OTHER VERSES. By A. B. PATERSON. Twenty-Seventh Thousand. With photogravure portrait and vignette title. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, gilt top, 5s. (_post free 5s. 5d._). _Presentation edition, French Morocco, gilt edges, 9s._ =The Literary Year Book:= "The immediate success of this book of bush ballads is without parallel in Colonial literary annals, nor can any living English or American poet boast so wide a public, always excepting Mr. Rudyard Kipling." =The Times:= "At his best he compares not unfavourably with the author of 'Barrack Room Ballads.'" =Spectator:= "These lines have the true lyrical cry in them. Eloquent and ardent verses." =Athenæum:= "Swinging, rattling ballads of ready humour, ready pathos, and crowding adventure.... Stirring and entertaining ballads about great rides, in which the lines gallop like the very hoofs of the horses." Mr. A. PATCHETT MARTIN, in =Literature= (London): "In my opinion it is the absolutely un-English, thoroughly Australian style and character of these new bush bards which has given them such immediate popularity, such wide vogue, among all classes of the rising native generation." _London: Macmillan & Co., Limited._ THE POETICAL WORKS OF BRUNTON STEPHENS. New edition, with photogravure portrait. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, gilt top, 5s. _See also Commonwealth Series, page 2._ =Sydney Morning Herald (N.S.W.):= "'The Poetical Works of Brunton Stephens' is a book which every Australian should have on his bookshelves, whether these bookshelves cover walls or are merely the small collection which the man of taste, however shrunken his purse, is bound to make. Brunton Stephens deserves his place in even the smallest of collections. The chief of Australian poets he has contributed to English literature work of distinguished merit. He is many-sided, embracing all sorts and conditions of men and things."
