RHYMES BY JOHN COWPER POWYS

_8vo, 120 pages, $1.25 net_

In these remarkable poems Mr. Powys strikes a new and startlingly
unfamiliar note; their interest lies in the fact that they are the
unaffected outcries and protests of a soul in exile, and their
originality is to be found in that they sweep aside all facile and
commonplace consolations and give expression to the natural and
incurable sadness of the heart of man.

NEW YORK EVENING POST says: "As regards what Mr. Powys modestly
calls his 'rhymes,' we hesitate to say how many years it is necessary
to go back in order to find their equals in sheer poetic originality."

BOOK NEWS MONTHLY says: "Such poems as those are worthy of a
permanent existence in literature."

KANSAS CITY STAR says: "It is unmistakably verse of lasting
quality."

THE WAR AND CULTURE

An Answer to Professor Musterberg

By JOHN COWPER POWYS

_12mo, 113 pages, 60 cents_

Mr. Powys says of this book that he has sought to correct that
plausible and superficial view of the Russian people as "the
half-civilised legions to whom we have taught killing by machinery"--a
view to which even so independent a thinker as George Bernard Shaw
appears to have fallen a victim.

The _Nation_ says:--"It is more weighty than many of the more
pretentious treatises on the subject."

THE SOLILOQUY OF A HERMIT

By THEODORE FRANCIS POWYS

_12mo, 144 pages, $1.00_

A profoundly original interpretation of life by the great lecturer's
hermit brother of which the Dial, Chicago says: "Truly a satirist and
humorist of a different kidney from the ordinary sort is this
companionable hermit. There is many a chuckle in his little book."

CHILDREN OF FANCY

_Second Edition, 256 pages, $2.00 net_

This volume has a special claim to attention as the poet was invited
to read these poems at Oxford University at the 1915 Summer Meeting.
The Oxford Chronicle in a long account "of one of the greatest
pleasures provided for the Meeting," remarked that "the ideal is
perfectly attained when the poet can recite his own poems with the
artistry with which Mr. Holborn introduced to his audience his
charming 'Children of Fancy.'"

Mr. Holborn swam with part of the MSS. from the _Lusitania_, and the
Edinburgh _Evening News_
