RUDYARD KIPLING'S NEW BOOK.

THE SEVEN SEAS. A new volume of poems by Rudyard Kipling, author of
"Many Inventions," "Barrack-Room Ballads," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50; half
calf, $3.00; morocco, $5.00.

"The spirit and method of Kipling's fresh and virile song have
taken the English reading world.... When we turn to the larger
portion of 'The Seven Seas,' how imaginative it is, how
impassioned, how superbly rhythmic and sonorous!... The ring and
diction of this verse add new elements to our song.... The true
laureate of Greater Britain."--E. C. Stedman, in the Book Buyer.

"The most original poet who has appeared in his generation.... His
is the lustiest voice now lifted in the world, the clearest, the
bravest, with the fewest false notes in it.... I do not see why, in
reading his book, we should not put ourselves in the presence of a
great poet again, and consent to put off our mourning for the high
ones lately dead."--W. D. Howells.

"The new poems of Mr. Rudyard Kipling have all the spirit and swing
of their predecessors. Throughout they are instinct with the
qualities which are essentially his, and which have made, and seem
likely to keep, for him his position and wide popularity."--London
Times.

"He has the very heart of movement, for the lack of which no
metrical science could atone. He goes far because he can."--London
Academy.

"'The Seven Seas' is the most remarkable book of verse that Mr.
Kipling has given us. Here the human sympathy is broader and
deeper, the patriotism heartier and fuller, the intellectual and
spiritual insight keener, the command of the literary vehicle more
complete and sure, than in any previous verse work by the author.
The volume pulses with power--power often rough and reckless in
expression, but invariably conveying the effect intended. There is
scarcely a line which does not testify to the strong individuality
of the writer."--London Globe.

"If a man holding this volume in his hands, with all its
extravagance and its savage realism, is not aware that it is
animated through and through with indubitable genius--then he must
be too much the slave of the conventional and the ordinary to
understand that Poetry metamorphoses herself in many diverse forms,
and that its one sovereign and indefeasible justification
is--truth."--London Daily Telegraph.
