ALICE BROWN:
“Mr. Frost has done truer work about New England than
anybody—except Miss Wilkins.”
CHARLES HANSON TOWNE:
“Nothing has come out of America since Whitman so splendid, so
real, so overwhelmingly great.”
AMY LOWELL in _The New Republic_:
“A book of unusual power and sincerity. A remarkable
achievement.”
NEW YORK EVENING SUN:
“The poet had the insight to trust the people with a book of the
people and the people replied ‘Man, what is your name?’ ... He
forsakes utterly the claptrap of pastoral song, classical or
modern.... His is soil stuff, not mock bucolics.”
BOSTON TRANSCRIPT:
“The first poet for half a century to express New England life
completely with a fresh, original and appealing way of his own.”
BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE:
“The more you read the more you are held, and when you return a
few days later to look up some passage that has followed you
about, the better you find the meat under the simple
unpretentious form. _The London Times_ caught that quality when
it said: ‘Poetry burns up out of it, as when a faint wind
breathes upon smouldering embers.’ ... That is precisely the
effect....”
REEDY’S MIRROR:
“Genuine poetry, these ‘North of Boston’ tales, they hold one
with the grip of a vivid novel.... I can only refer my readers to
‘North of Boston’ for acquaintance with what seems to me a fine
achievement; such achievement, indeed, as contributes vitally to
the greatness of a country’s most national and significant
literature.”
A BOY’S WILL Mr. Frost’s First Volume of Poetry
THE ACADEMY (LONDON):
“We have read every line with that amazement and delight which
are too seldom evoked by books of modern verse.”

_A Romance of Old Ireland_
THE PASSIONATE CRIME
BY E. TEMPLE THURSTON,
Author of “The Open Window,”
“The City of Beautiful
Nonsense,” Etc.
This latest of Mr. E. Temple Thurston’s novels introduces its
author into an entirely new field. Among the wilds of Ireland, in
a region of the most imaginative superstition, he tracks down the
story of the romantic life and death of a young poet, whose
brilliantly promising career was wrecked in the midst of tragedy.
The spirit of faerie hangs over the whole tale, which is imbued
with Celtic glamor, and the strange, elusive inspiration of the
Irish mountainside.
