Five Months at Anzac Part 7

_VERSES, POPULAR AND HUMOROUS._

By HENRY LAWSON. Eighteenth thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (_postage 2d._)

NEW YORK JOURNAL: "Such pride as a man feels when he has true greatness as his guest, this newspaper feels in introducing to a million readers a man of ability hitherto unknown to them. Henry Lawson is his name."

_WHEN I WAS KING, AND OTHER VERSES._

By HENRY LAWSON. Tenth thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (_postage 2d._)

THE SPECTATOR: "A good deal of humour, a great deal of spirit, and a robust philosophy are the main characteristics of these Australian poets. Because they write of a world they know, and of feelings they have themselves shared in, they are far nearer the heart of poetry than the most accomplished devotees of a literary tradition."

_ON THE TRACK AND OVER THE SLIPRAILS._

By HENRY LAWSON. Twentieth thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (_postage 2d._)

DAILY CHRONICLE: "Will well sustain the reputation its author has already won as the best writer of Australian short stories and sketches."

_FAIR GIRLS AND GRAY HORSES, WITH OTHER VERSES._

By WILL H. OGILVIE. Revised edition, completing twentieth thousand.

With portrait. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (_postage 2d._)

SCOTSMAN: "Its verses draw their natural inspiration from the camp, the cattle trail, and the bush; and their most characteristic and compelling rhythms from the clatter of horses' hoofs."

_HEARTS OF GOLD, AND OTHER VERSES._

By WILL H. OGILVIE. Fourth thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (_postage 2d._)

DAILY TELEGRAPH: "Will be welcomed by all who love the stirring music and strong masculine feeling of this poet's verse."

_WHILE THE BILLY BOILS._

By HENRY LAWSON. With eight ill.u.s.trations by F.P. Mahony. Thirty-second thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s.

(_postage 2d._)

THE ACADEMY: "A book of honest, direct, sympathetic, humorous writing about Australia from within is worth a library of travellers' tales ... The result is a real book--a book in a hundred. His language is terse, supple, and richly idiomatic. He can tell a yarn with the best."

_CHILDREN OF THE BUSH._

By HENRY LAWSON. Eleventh thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (_postage 2d._)

THE BULLETIN: "These stories are the real Australia, written by the foremost living Australian author ... Lawson's genius remains as vivid and human as when he first boiled his literary billy."

_JOE WILSON AND HIS MATES._

By HENRY LAWSON. Eleventh thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (_postage 2d._)

THE ATHENAEUM: "This is a long way the best work Mr. Lawson has yet given us. These stories are so good that (from the literary point of view of course) one hopes they are not autobiographical. As autobiography they would be good, as pure fiction they are more of an attainment."

_London: Wm. Blackwood & Sons._

_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."
