THE ROSE-WINGED HOURS. 



Xove Xgrfcs. 

 Arranged by St. JOHN LUCAS, 



EDITOR OF 'THE OXFORD BOOK OF FRENCH VERSE,' ETC. 



Small Svo., elegantly bound. 55. net. 



The special claim of this anthology, arranged, as it is, by one of 

 our most promising younger poets, will be due to the prominence 

 given in it to the love-lyrics of those Elizabethan and Jacobean 

 poets whose verse, though really entitled to rank with the finest 

 flowers of their better-known contemporaries, is unduly neglected by 

 the ordinary reader. The love-lyric is, indeed, the only form in 

 which a great many of the lesser poets write anything at all 

 memorable. 



Sidney and Campion, both writers of extraordinary power and 

 sweetness, devote themselves almost entirely to this form, and the 

 strange and passionate voice of Doune finds in it an accent of deep 

 and haunting eloquence. And since every love-lyric from Meleager 

 to Meredith has a certain deathless interest that is shared by every 

 poem of its kind, no matter how many the centuries between them, 

 in this volume the great line of the Elizabethans will lead to the 

 nineteenth century poets, to the singers of an epoch with a lyrical 

 harvest as great, indeed, as all the gold of Elizabeth. 



THE MISTRESS ART. 



By REGINALD BLOMFIELD, A.R.A,, 



PROFESSOR OF ARCHITECTURE TO THE ROYAL ACADEMY. 

 AUTHOR OF 'A HISTORY OF RENAISSANCE ARCHITECTURE IN ENGLAND.' 



Crown Svo. 55. net. 



The author of this interesting book, who speaks, as it were, 

 ex cathedra, has here collected a series of eight lectures on 

 architecture delivered in the Royal Academy. In them he has 

 endeavoured to establish a standpoint from which architecture should 

 be studied and practised. His general position is that architecture 

 is an art with a definite technique of its own, which cannot be trans- 

 lated into terms either of ethics or of any of the other arts, and the 

 development of this thesis involves a somewhat searching criticism 

 of the views on architecture advanced by Ruskin and Morris. 



The first four lectures deal with the study of architecture its 

 relation to personal temperament, its appeal to the emotions, and 

 its limitations. In the last four, devoted to ' The Grand Manner,' 

 the writer has illustrated his conception of the aims and ideas of 

 architecture by reference to great examples of the art in the past.
