Idylls and Lyrics. 



By William Forsyth, Author of ' Kelavane,' &c. Crown 8vo, 5s. 



"This is a little volume of unpretending but genuine poetry." — Standard. 



' ' Good poetry is not so common a commodity nowadays that it should be 

 passed over without special mark. When found, it should be brought to light 

 that it may be admired. It is for this reason that special attention is here called 

 to a little volume of ' Idylls and Lyrics, ' by Mr William Forsyth. . . . Mr 

 Forsyth is a poet. There is genuine music in almost every line he writes. He 

 sees what most men fail to see ; he hears what most men fail to hear ; and he 

 writes with a fehcity of style that few men can equal. In all this volume there 

 is scarcely a page which does not teem with beauties — all the more beautiful 

 that while they want not in vigour and in fineness of perception, they are simple 

 and clear to every reader." — Scotsman.

The Subaltern. 



By G. E. Gleig, M.A., Chaplain - General of Her Majesty's Forces. 

 Originally published in ' Blackwood's Magazine. ' Library Edition. 

 Revised and Corrected, with a New Preface. Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d. 



"Originally published in 'Blackwood's Magazine' in 1825, it was at once 

 received with favour, and the present generation of readers will no doubt en- 

 dorse the verdict of their fathers, and find pleasure in reading Mr Gleig's faith- 

 ful and picturesque account of his boyish campaign. The volume, though as 

 interesting as any novel, is in all respects the actual record of its author's own 

 experience,»and it is in fact the day-to-day journal of a young officer who 

 embarked at Dover with his battalion in 1813, joined Lord WeUington's army 

 a few days before the storming of San Sebastian, just as the French, under 

 Soult, were being driven back through the Pyrenees on to their own soil, and 

 had his share -of the fighting on the Bidassoa. . , . We must not omit to 

 notice the new preface which gives an additional interest to the present issue 

 of ' The Subaltern, ' and which recounts the present-day aspect of the tract of 

 country where were fought the last batttes of the Peninsular War. There is 

 something touching in the old clergyman thus going over the ground he trod 

 sixty years ago as a young soldier,' full of military ardour, and recognising 

 the cities and the soil on which were acted the glorious and unforgotten scenes 

 in whwh he borea hero's part." — The Times.
