Author of "Daily Bread," "Fires," etc. _Cloth, 12mo_ Here with that intensely human note exhibited in his poems of the working classes, Mr. Gibson sings of the life of the soldier. There are many moods in the book, for the author has well caught the flow of spirits from gaiety to despair which makes up the soldier's days. The chief characteristic of the little pen pictures is their vividness, the way in which they bring before the reader the thoughts and feelings of those whose lives may be offered up for their country any moment. In addition to these poems of battle there are others in the collection on varying themes. THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Publishers 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York * * * * * Six French Poets BY AMY LOWELL Author of "Sword Blades and Poppy Seed," "A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass," etc. _Cloth, 8vo, $2.50_ A brilliant series of biographical and critical essays dealing with Émile Verhaeren, Albert Samain, Remy de Gourmont, Henri de Régnier, Francis Jammes, and Paul Fort, by one of the foremost living American poets. The translations make up an important part of the book, and together with the French originals constitute a representative anthology of the poetry of the period. Professor Barrett Wendell, of Harvard University, says: "Seems to me as unusual--in the happiest sense of the word, ... I find the book a model, in total effect, of what a work with such purpose ought to be." William Lyon Phelps, Professor of English Literature, Yale University, says: "This is, I think, the most valuable work on contemporary French literature that I have seen for a long time. It is written by one who has a thorough knowledge of the subject and who is herself an American poet of distinction. She has the knowledge, the sympathy, the penetration, and the insight--all necessary to make a notable book of criticism. It is a work that should be widely read in America." OTHER BOOKS BY AMY LOWELL Sword Blades and Poppy Seed _Boards, 12mo, $1.25_ "From the standard of pure poetry, Miss Lowell's poem, 'The Book of the Hours of Sister Clotilde' is one of the loveliest in our poetry, worthy of companionship to the great romantic lyrics of Coleridge."--_Boston Transcript._ A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass _Boards, 12mo, $1.25_ "Such verse as this is delightful, has a sort of personal flavor, a loyalty to the fundamentals of life and nationality.... The child poems are particularly graceful."--_Boston Transcript._ THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Publishers 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York Transcriber's Notes: Passages in italics are indicated by _italics_.
