MESSRS. METHUEN'S LIST 7 



'"Barrack-Room Ballads" contains some of the best work that Mr. Kipling has 

 ever done, which is saying a good deal. " Fuzzy-Wuzzy," "Gunga Din," and 

 " Tommy," are, in our opinion, altogether superior to anything of the kind that 

 English literature has hitherto produced.' Atkenceum. 



1 These ballads are as wonderful in their descriptive power as they are vigorous in 

 their dramatic force. There are few ballads in the English language more 

 stirring than "The Ballad of East and West," worthy to stand by the Border 

 ballads of Scott.' Spectator. 



' The ballads teem with imagination, they palpitate with emotion. We read them 

 with laughter and tears ; the metres throb in our pulses, the cunningly ordered 

 words tingle with life ; and if this be not poetry, what is ? ' Pall Mall Gazette.
