Mr. Edward Arnold’s List of New Books 
THE ROSE-WINGED HOURS. 
21 Collection of JEngllsb %yxic8. 
Arranged by St. JOHN LUCAS, 
Editor of ‘The Oxford Book of French Verse,’ etc. 
Small 8m, elegantly bound. 5s. 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 8 vo. 5s. 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.
