DARWIN SWIFT, M.A., formerly Scholar of Queen's College, Oxford; Assistant Master at Denstone College. _Fcap, 8vo. 2s._ A LIST OF MESSRS. METHUEN'S PUBLICATIONS POETRY RUDYARD KIPLING. BARRACK-ROOM BALLADS; And Other Verses. By RUDYARD KIPLING. _Eighth Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s_. A Special Presentation Edition, bound in white buckram, with extra gilt ornament. _7s. 6d_. 'Mr. Kipling's verse is strong, vivid, full of character ... Unmistakable genius rings in every line.'--_Times_. 'The disreputable lingo of Cockayne is henceforth justified before the world; for a man of genius has taken it in hand, and has shown, beyond all cavilling, that in its way it also is a medium for literature.

"Q" THE GOLDEN POMP: A Procession of English Lyrics from Surrey to Shirley, arranged by A.T. QUILLER COUCH. _Crown 8vo. Buckram. 6s_. Also 40 copies on hand-made paper. _Demy 8vo. L1, 1s_. net. Also 15 copies on Japanese paper. _Demy 8vo. L2, 2s_. net 'A delightful volume: a really golden "Pomp."'--SPECTATOR. 'Of the many anthologies of 'old rhyme' recently made, Mr. Couch's seems the richest in its materials, and the most artistic in its arrangement. Mr. Co
