uch's notes are admirable; and Messrs. Methuen are to be congratulated on the format of the sumptuous volume.'--_Realm_. "Q." GREEN BAYS: Verses and Parodies. By "Q.," Author of 'Dead Man's Rock,' etc. _Second Edition. Fcap. 8vo. 3s. 6d._ 'The verses display a rare and versatile gift of parody, great command of metre, and a very pretty turn of humour.'--_Times_. H.O. BEECHING. LYRA SACRA: An Anthology of Sacred Verse. Edited by H.C. BEECHING, M.A. _Crown 8vo. Buckram, gilt-top. 6s._ 'An anthology of high excellence.'--_Athenaeum_.
