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.'" London: STEPHEN SWIFT & CO., LTD., 10 John St., Adelphi 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." London: STEPHEN SWIFT & CO., LTD., 10 John St., Adelphi 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."
