=Flower o’ the Vine: Romantic Ballads and Sospiri di Roma.=—By WILLIAM SHARP, author of “A Fellowe and His Wife” (with Miss Howard), “Life and Letters of Joseph Severn,” etc. With an introduction by Thomas A. Janvier, and a portrait of the author. As one of the most popular of the younger English poets, equal success is anticipated for this first American edition of Mr. Sharp’s poems. Its welcome in the American press has been most hearty. Tastefully bound, with appropriate decorative design. Cloth, 8vo, $1.50. “This volume of verse, by Mr. William Sharp, has a music like that of the meeting of two winds, one blown down from the Northern seas, keen and salty, the other carrying on its wings the warm fragrance of Southern fields.”—_The Literary World._ “These old ballads, whether in Scottish dialect or not, are transfused with the wild, uncanny, shivering character of all the old myths of the North, a strange pungent chill, so to speak, as if the breath that gave them voice were blown across leagues of iceberg and glacier.”—_Chicago Times._ “When Mr. Sharp leaves the North with its wild stories of love and fighting and death, and carries us away with him in the ‘Sospiri di Roma’ to the warmth and the splendor of the South, he equally shows the creative faculty. He is a true lover of Earth with her soothing-touch and soft caress: he lies in her arms, he hears her whispered secret, and through the real discovers the spiritual.”—_Philadelphia Record._ “The poems combine a gracefulness of rhythm and a subtle sweetness.”—_Baltimore American._ Travel, Biography, and Essays. =The German Emperor and His Eastern Neighbors.=—By POULTNEY BIGELOW. Cable despatches state that Mr. Bigelow has been expelled from Russia for writing this volume. Interesting personal notes of his old playmate’s boyhood and education are given, together with a description of the Emperor’s army, his course and policy since accession, and the condition of affairs on the Russian and Roumanian frontiers. With fine portrait of William II. (“Fiction, Fact, and Fancy Series.”) Cloth, 12mo, 75 cents. “A book to attract immediate and close attention.”—_Chicago Times._ “An interesting contribution to evidence concerning Russia.”—_Springfield Republican._ “A much-needed correction to the avalanche of abuse heaped upon the German Emperor.”—_Philadelphia Inquirer._ “The book should have a place in the library of every student of politics.”—_Boston Pilot._
