ms of Mr. Rudyard Kipling have all the spirit and swing of their predecessors. Throughout they are instinct with the qualities which are essentially his, and which have made, and seem likely to keep, for him his position and wide popularity."--_London Times._ "He has the very heart of movement, for the lack of which no metrical science could atone. He goes far because he can."--_London Academy._ "'The Seven Seas' is the most remarkable book of verse that Mr. Kipling has given us.
