    SATYRS AND SUNLIGHT By HUGH McCRAE. 2nd Edition, cloth bound, crown Svo. Price, 3/6; posted, 3/8. Readers of Australian verse will remember the sensation caused by the appearance of the limited edition of these poems, illustrated by Norman Lindsay. This second (unillustrated) edition brings, as the Herald says, one of the best books of recent Australian verse within the reach of the general public. \, Mr. McCrae . . . produces remarkable poems, which strike a note new to Australia, and take a high place in our literature.—Sydney Morn- ing Herald. POEMS By HUBERT CHURCH. Crown Svo. Antique Paper. Bound in Full Cloth. Price, 3/6; posted, 3 /g. Those acquainted with this poet's Egmont will be glad to see this announcement of a further collection of poems. The present volume includes a few of the best poems in Egmont, and a number of fine additions, some published for the first time, make up a most attractive volume. In Hubert Church we have a poet who worthily upholds the highest traditions of Australasian poetry. Grandeur, simplicity, tenderness and power are all reflected in this fine collection of poems.—Dundee Advertiser. SEA AND SKY By J. LE GAY BRERETON. Small Quarto. Edition limited to 500 copies. Price, 3/6; posted, 3/8. Any lover of Australian verse unacquainted with Mr. J. Le Gay Brere- ton's work has a real pleasure in store. The poems in this collection are unique, and as the Bulletin says, Such careful work, so delicately done, is a rare portent in our vague Australian sky. In Mr. Le Gay Brereton's ' Sea and Sky,' says the Bookman, one has some of the most delicate and essentially poetical work that has yet been written in Australia. POETICAL WORKS OF WILLIAM GAY With Biographical Sketch by J. Glen Oliphant. Bound in Full Cloth, Gold Blocked, Gilt Top. Crown 8vo. Price, 3/6; posted, 3/9. The authentic and only complete edition. This Scotch born poet, driven like so many, before and since, to seek health across the sea, has left a rare memorial in the land of his adoption. We cannot call him an Australian poet. His poetry, says his bio- grapher, was universal, not local, and might have been written any- where, but as his life was linked with Australia, we are glad to count him among her sons, and to remember that he found under her skies greater spiritual peace, and a measure of physical strength sufficient to leave this legacy. AUSTRALIANS YET By GRANT HERVEY. Crown 8vo. 254 pages. Clearly printed on good white paper, and attractively bound. Lettered in gold. Gilt top. Price, 3/6 ; fost free, 3/8. This is a volume of vigorous ballads, chanting the praise of Australia, a creed of hard work, and a love of women, in long, rollicking lines. He sings manfully, with a good ear for a chorus.—Times. His verses are good reading.—The Bookseller. This is jolly hearty Colonial stuff, by one who sees that Australia needs an arch interpreter.—The Daily Chronicle, London. THOMAS C. LOTHIAN, MELBOURNE.
