Great Testimony against scientific cruelty
Coleridge, Stephen
Vivisection
_Harrogate Times_.--"The book is an epitome of reasons why 'all humane
and thoughtful people' should disapprove of vivisection, and the sinister
effects of the existence of this practice in our midst. The statements
are cogent, and will find a response in the heart of a wide
constituency."
JOHN LANE, THE BODLEY HEAD.
SONGS TO DESIDERIA
_Crown_ 8_vo._ 3_s._ 6_d._ _net_.
_Daily News_.--"These songs and poems are intensely and sincerely felt .
. . they have the fine, careful, literary coldness of some of the lyrics
of Landor or of the more serious work of Peacock. It is the poetry of a
refined and knightly nature . . . and it deserves to be studied and
remembered . . . its mood is austere and its temper noble."
_Globe_.--"Excellent verses, easy, melodious, and charming."
_Tribune_.--"All lovers of poetry will be grateful for Mr. Stephen
Coleridge's volume. Dainty and finished in execution, and instinct with
a genuine human sympathy, these lyrics betray the hand of a craftsman in
verse. . . . Verses of this quality should secure for 'Songs to
Desideria' a sincere welcome."
_Glasgow Herald_.--"The Hon. Stephen Coleridge has already established
his position among the more tuneful writers of true lyric verse, and into
all that he writes the poet puts delicacy and true emotion, the former
never becomes mere phrase, the latter never degenerates into wordy
passion."
_South Wales Daily News_.--"There is sometimes a depth of feeling in his
passages for which one usually looks only in the great masters of English
literature."
JOHN LANE, THE BODLEY HEAD.
MEMORIES
_With Twelve Illustrations_. _Demy_ 8_vo._ 7_s._ 6_d._ _net_.
_Observer_.--"Mr. Coleridge has furnished 'The Dictionary of National
Biography' (or the Victorian part of it) with a supplement of wit and
conversation. And one hardly knows at which to marvel most, the number
of celebrities he hauls up in his net, of the number of laughs he gets
out of them. His book is rich in fresh anecdote and the best light
elements of personality."
MR. JAMES DOUGLAS in the _Star_.--"The best book of reminiscences I have
read for a long time. It teems with good stories about famous and
familiar names."
_Morning Post_.--"Genuinely a record of the doings of others, and full of
anecdote and incident. Mr. Coleridge has written a delightful book, and
has told many interesting things of many famous men."
_Daily Chronicle_.--"Now this is the right sort of memories to put into
print; memories that are fresh and bright, piquant, and yet never
ill-natured, crowded with personal lights and anecdotes; in fine, a
volume of which one says: 'I would have liked to meet all those people
and write about them as Mr. Coleridge has done.'"
JOHN LANE, THE BODLEY HEAD.
