nd happy
style.
Mr MAURICE MAETERLINCK says:--"This volume is full of thoughts and
meditations of the very highest order.... Mr Grierson has concentrated his
thought on the profound and simple questions of life and conscience....
What unique and decisive things in 'Parsifalitis,' for example, what
strange clairvoyance in 'Beauty and Morals in Nature,' in the essay on
'Tolstoy,' in 'Authority and Individualism,' in 'The New Criticism'!"
Mr JAMES DOUGLAS says:--"This little book is tremulous with originality
and palpitating with style."
Mr A. B. WALKLEY says:--"A delectable book.... I shall keep it on the same
shelf as 'Wisdom and Destiny' and 'The Treasure of the Humble.'"

THE CELTIC TEMPERAMENT
BY FRANCIS GRIERSON
_F'cap 8vo. 2s. 6d. net_
_CHARMING AND FULL OF WISDOM_
The late Professor WILLIAM JAMES said:--"I find 'The Celtic Temperament'
charming and full of wisdom."
The _Glasgow Herald_ says:--"A remarkable book, and by a remarkable
man.... This book will be read and re-read by all who recognise acuteness
of intellectual faculty, culture which has gained much from books, but
more from human intercourse, deep thinking, and a gift of literary
expression which at times it quite Gallic."
Mr MAURICE MAETERLINCK says:--"In this volume I am privileged once more to
breathe the atmosphere of supreme spiritual aristocracy which emanates
from all Mr Grierson's work. He has, in his best moments, that most rare
gift of casting certain shafts of light, at once simple and decisive, upon
questions the most difficult, obscure, and unlooked-for in art, morals,
and psychology.... I place these essays among the most subtle and
substantial that I know."

SOME NEIGHBOURS
STORIES, SKETCHES, AND STUDIES
BY CHARLES GRANVILLE
_Second edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._
_FULL OF CLEVER CHARACTERISATION_
A fine vein of poetic feeling runs through all these stories, sketches,
and studies, which are, without exception, highly entertaining and full of
clever characterisation. Mr Granville's style is by turns naive,
deliberate and restrained, but always attractive.
_The Times._--"A pleasant book ... prettily conceived and told...."
_The Scotsman._--"The stories are always interesting, both as studies of
odd aspects of humanity and for the curious modern reticence of their
art."
