_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.’
FOURTH IMPRESSION. Small Crown 8vo, 5_s._
SONGS OF ACTION.
BY A. 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 COUCH in the _SPEAKER_.—‘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.’
