MR. MARKHAM'S latest PORTRAIT 



"^JHEN the Norn-Mother saw the Whirlwind 

 ^** Hour, 



Greatening and darkening as it hurried on, 

 She bent the strenuous heavens and came down 

 To make a man to meet the mortal need; 

 She took the tried clay of the common road — 

 Clay warm yet with the genial heat of earth, 

 Dashed through it all a drain of prophecy; 

 Then mixed a laughter with the serious stuff. 

 It was a stuff to wear for centuries, 

 A man that matched the mountains, and compelled 

 The stars to look our way and honor us." 



Opening stanza from Lincoln, the Great Com- 

 moner.

Songs of Nature by John Burroughs 



From the Preface 



" ' J^HIS collection represents on the whole my judgment 

 \^ of the best Nature poems at my disposal in the lan- 

 guage. I am surprised at the amount of so-called 

 Nature poetry that has been added to English literature 

 during the past fifty years, but I find only a little of it of 

 permanent worth. The painted, padded, and perfumed 

 Nature of so many of the younger poets I cannot stand at 

 all. I have not knowingly admitted any poem that is not 

 true to my own observations of Nature." 



An Anthology of Nature Poetry 



H TORTUOUS and difficult channel may add 

 to the beauty of a mountain brook, but it 

 does not add to a poem." 

 This book contains the truest and the simplest, 

 the most beautiful and the best English Nature 

 verse since the time of Shakespere to the present. 

 It contains many old favorites and not a few of those 

 rare and delicate flowers of poetry which occasionally 

 elude the notice of the more casual reader, i2mo,

The Author 



BORN in the west of Scotland of a parentage half- 

 Scotch-and-Irish, and brought up amidst a farming 

 and mining population, George Douglas Brown 

 knows through and through the life in the Scottish country 

 districts and the interior village. In his new book he has 

 sounded a note which only' Mr. Thomas Hardy has sounded 

 in our time; and at the same time his work is so different 

 from Hardy's that it does not even suggest that Mr. Douglas 

 is in the position of a disciple. 



Directly from the Russian 



H TRANSLATION directly from the Russian, 

 characterized by the limpid beauty of Mrs. 

 Garnett's English, which holds closely to the 

 strong and masterly expression of the original. 

 Her " Anna Karenin " promises to take equal rank 

 with her Turgenieff among translations. With 

 photogravure frontispiece. 2 vols., 8vo. Per set,

Green Shutters 



by George Douglas 



'^^HIS is something new in a story of Scottish 

 ^^ village life. The characteristic humor is there, 

 yes ; but there is added a grim realism which 

 makes a most impressive combination. The tragic 

 downfall of a family dominant in a little Scottish 

 town is told in a way which attests the author's art 

 by the very sense of its inevitability. i2mo, $1.50.
