POETRY— (continued.) 



XVIII 



THE LEGENDS OF ST. PATRICK, AND OTHER POEMS. 



By Aubrey de Veee. Crown 8vo. 5s. 



' Mr. De Vere's versification in his earlier poems is characterised by great 

 sweetness and simplicity. He is master of his instrument, and rarely offends the 

 ear with false notes. Poems such as these scarcely admit of quotation, for their 

 charm is not, and ought not to be, found in isolated passages ; but we can pro- 

 mise the patient and thoughtful reader much pleasure in the perusal of this 

 volume.'— Pall Mall Gazette. 



' We have marked, in almost every page, excellent touches from which we 

 know not how to select. We have but space to commend the varied structure 

 of his verse, the carefulness of his grammar, and his excellent English. All 

 who believe that poetry should raise and not debase the social ideal — all who 

 think that wit should exalt our standard of thought and manners — must 

 welcome this contribution at once to our knowledge of the past and to the science 

 of noble life.' — Saturday Review. 



XIX 



ASPROMONTE, AND OTHER POEMS. Second Edition. 

 Cloth, 45. 6d. 



1 The volume is anonymous, but there is no reason for the author to be 

 ashamed of it. The " Poems of Italy " are evidently inspired by genuine enthu- 

 siasm in the cause espoused ; and one of them, "The Execution of Felice Orsini," 

 has much poetic merit, the event celebrated being told with dramatic force.' — 

 Athenceum. 



' The verse is fluent and free.' — Spectator. 



XX

By Patrick Scott, Author of ' Footpaths between Two Worlds ' &c. 

 Fcp. 8vo. cloth, 55. 

 ' A bitter and able satire on the vice and follies of the day — literary, social, 

 and political.' — Standard. 



* Shows real poetic power coupled with evidences of satirical energy.' — Edin- 

 burgh Daily Review.
