LAURENCE HOPE'S
LOVE LYRICS.

Uniformly bound in fancy boards with cloth back. 6s. (postage 3d.) per volume.

THE GARDEN OF KAMA.

Daily Chronicle: "No one has so truly interpreted the Indian mind no one, transcribing Indian thought into our literature, has retained so high and serious a level, and quite apart from the rarity of themes and setting the verses remain true poems."

STARS OF THE DESERT.

Outlook: "It is not merely that these verses describe Oriental scenes and describe them with vividness, there is a feeling in the rhythm a timbre of the words that seems akin to the sand and palm-trees and the changeless East."

INDIAN LOVE.

Spectator: "The poetry of Laurence Hope must hold a unique place in modern letters. No woman has written lines so full of a strange primeval savagery a haunting music the living force of poetry."

London: William Heinemann.


THE WITCH MAID, AND OTHER VERSES.

By Dorothea Mackellar. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d. (postage 2d.)

Sydney Morning Herald: "She possesses to a remarkable degree the faculty of conjuring up before our eyes an extraordinarily vivid picture in a single line or even a word or two. Miss Mackellar can grasp the essential spirit of a scene, and what is rarer still, can find words to make us, too, see it, where before we have been blind."

London: J. M. Dent & Co., Ltd.
