_MEMORIES OF LINCOLN'S COUNTRY_
In this book Mr Grierson recalls in vivid memories the wonderful romance
of his life in Lincoln's country before the war. "_The Valley of the
Shadows_ is not a novel," says Mr W. L. Courtney in the _Daily Telegraph_,
"yet in the graphic portraiture of spiritual and intellectual movements it
possesses an attraction denied to all but the most significant kind of
fiction.... With a wonderful touch Mr Grierson depicts scene after scene,
drawing the simple, native characters with bold, impressive strokes."
"Told with wonderful charm ... enthralling as any romance ... truth,
though often stranger than fiction, is almost always duller; Mr Grierson
has accomplished the rare feat of making it more interesting. There are
chapters in the book ... that haunt one afterwards like remembered music,
or like passages in the prose of Walter Pater."--_Punch._

MODERN MYSTICISM
And Other Essays
BY FRANCIS GRIERSON
_F'cap. 8vo. 2s. 6d. net_
_ORIGINAL, INCISIVE, SUBTLE, ACUTE_
This book embodies profound thinking expressed in an original and happy
style.
Mr MAURICE MAETERLINCK says:--"This volume is full of thoughts and
meditations of the very highest order.... Mr Grierson has concentrated his
thought on the profound and simple questions of life and conscience....
What unique and decisive things in 'Parsifalitis,' for example, what
strange clairvoyance in 'Beauty and Morals in Nature,' in the essay on
'Tolstoy,' in 'Authority and Individualism,' in 'The New Criticism'!"
Mr JAMES DOUGLAS says:--"This little book is tremulous with originality
and palpitating with style."
Mr A. B. WALKLEY says:--"A delectable book.... I shall keep it on the same
shelf as 'Wisdom and Destiny' and 'The Treasure of the Humble.'"

THE CELTIC TEMPERAMENT
BY FRANCIS GRIERSON
_F'cap 8vo. 2s. 6d. net_
_CHARMING AND FULL OF WISDOM_
The late Professor WILLIAM JAMES said:--"I find 'The Celtic Temperament'
charming and full of wisdom."
The _Glasgow Herald_ says:--"A remarkable book, and by a remarkable
man.... This book will be read and re-read by all who recognise acuteness
of intellectual faculty, culture which has gained much from books, but
more from human intercourse, deep thinking, and a gift of literary
expression which at times it quite Gallic."
Mr MAURICE MAETERLINCK says:--"In this volume I am privileged once more to
breathe the atmosphere of supreme spiritual aristocracy which emanates
from all Mr Grierson's work. He has, in his best moments, that most rare
gift of casting certain shafts of light, at once simple and decisive, upon
questions the most difficult, obscure, and unlooked-for in art, morals,
and psychology.... I place these essays among the most subtle and
substantial that I know."
