ived on _Poems of the Town_. Among this chorus of praise
there has not been one dissenting voice.

"For terse English, for picturesque and appropriate imagery,
for keen and faithful portraiture Mr. McGaffey has no
superior. And there will be many to say that this book
entitles him to recognition as the interpreter of his
age."--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._

"It is doubtful if any American poet has written a finer, more
humane, more nobly and righteously wrathful outburst against
the maladies of civilization than the poem in this collection
entitled _Laocoon of the Town_."--_St. Louis Mirror._

"His lyrics have that touch of universality which
distinguishes true poetry from mere verse. It is not too much
to say that _Poems of the Town_ are certain to take a place
among the best examples of American poetry."--_Editorial
Chicago Chronicle._

IRISH MIST AND SUNSHINE

BALLADS AND LYRICS BY
REV. JAMES B. DOLLARD
(Sliav-na-mon)

With an introduction by William O'Brien, M. P.
With frontispiece. Small quarto.
Cloth ornamental. $1.50

This is a book of ringing Irish ballads that will stir the
heart of every lover of true poetry. "Here and there a verse
may be as frankly unadorned as the peasant cabins themselves
in their homely cloaks of thatch, but every line rings true to
life and home and with the tone, as heartmoving as the Angelus
which holds Millet's peasants in its spell," from Mr.
O'Brien's introduction.

"Father Dollard's ballads have all the fire and dash of
Kipling's, with a firmer poetic touch" says Mr. Nathan Haskell
Dole.
