POEMS BY EDMUND FALCONER.
Also, by the same Author (Second Edition),

MEMORIES, THE BEQUEST OF MY BOYHOOD.
"From what we have said it will be seen that there are
few of Mr. Falconer's fellows of the stage with whom he may
be compared. A poet's skill is best tested by his treatment
of the theme of love and womankind, and here Mr. Falconer
comes off most creditab y."— Athenaeum.

•" The poems of sentiment are not sentimental poems. They
are full of feeling, tenderly expressed. In verses of character
the author proves himself to be an artist who can limn boldly
and correctly, and as a writer of ballads we think he will be
remembered, were it only for him 'Amite Hathaway.' "—Dub-
lin Evening Mail._

"No one can read this volume of poems without detecting
the ring of the genuine metal; all of them are lull of thought
—some pervaded with a fine tenderness of feeling."—hum-
fries and Galloway Courier.

Versatility is the distinguishing peculiarity of the genius
of Mr. Falconer. The poems here collected are singularly
various. Cordially we congratulate Mr. Falconer on the pub-
lication of effusions such as these poems."—The London
Evening Sun.

" Mr. Grindon's book has reached, but will not stop at, the
third edition. It is the work of a scholar, a Christian, and a
man of real ecience."—Horning Herald.
" To those who delight in the exercise of their intellectual
powers, these very thoughtful and beautifully-written reflec-
tions will be a welcome boon, and the source long afterwards,
we may rest assured of many fruitful meditations and plea-
sant memories." —Sun.
" The reader will find in it much thou4lit and much read-
ing. Thera is plenty to think up-n, plenty to study, plenty
lo entertain."—lllustrated London News."
