BALLADS AND BARRACK-ROOM BALLADS. 12mo, cloth, $1.25. "Mr. Kipling differs from other ballad-writers of the day in that he has that rare possession, imagination, and he has the temerity to speak out what is in him with no conventional reservations or deference to the hypocrisies of public opinion."--_Boston Beacon._ THE MACMILLAN COMPANY, 66 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK.
