VOLUMES OF POEMS
SONGS OF THE WORLD
As arranged in the volume The Songs of Lady Nairne form a precious
anthology of old favourites, a souvenir rich in special associations.
The Foulis _Fergusson_ is illustrated in a new, and, it is thought, a
welcome way. The result is a volume of rare completeness, with every
detail as perfect and appropriate as careful thought could achieve. The
cream of Hogg's poetry is in the third volume, which will appeal to all
who are in search of a beautiful edition of the work of Scotland's
famous peasant-poet. Each has illustrations in colour by well-known
artists. In Boards, 2/6 net; Velvet Persian, 3/6 net.

here will be enabled to see the characters created in words by one
dreamer, taking graphic shape and form, in colour and line, in the
responsive vision of another. The binding of the book is russet Scottish
buckram; and it is specially worthy of notice in this instance that
every detail is the work of Scottish craftsmen. Quarto, 660 pp. Printed

Vellum, 21/- net.
POEMS OF ADAM LINDSAY GORDON
Adam Lindsay Gordon is generally called the Byron of Australia. But he
played far more parts than Byron, and crowded more genuine romance into
his tragic life than even the sixth Baron of Rochdale. In "The Sick
Stock Rider" he reproduces the colonial bush as keenly as Kipling
reproduces India. His "How we Beat the Favourite" is the finest ballad
of the turf in the language. He is, above everything, the sportsman's
poet. This edition contains twelve stirring illustrations in colour by
Captain G. D. Giles. 336 pages. Buckram, 5/- net. Bound in Velvet
Persian, 7/6 net.
