ctive to Azreel's strange disillusions. This part will not be the least piquant. London: STEPHEN SWIFT & CO., LTD., 10 John St., Adelphi POEMS BY CHARLES GRANVILLE _F'cap 4to. 5s. net._ _REAL POETIC TALENT_ The present volume is composed of a selection from the previous poetical works of the Author, who is also well known as a writer of prose. The distinctive feature of the poems in this collection--the feature, indeed, that marks off and differentiates the work of this poet from the mass of verse produced to-day--is their spiritual insight. Mr Granville is concerned with the soul of man, with the eternal rather than the transitory, and his perception, which is that of the seer, invests his language with that quality of ecstasy that constitutes the indisputable claim of poetry to rank in the forefront of literature.

J'ai ete frappe de l'originalite puissante de la pensee de l'auteur." JULES CLARETIE (de l'Academie Francaise):--"J'ai ete charme par les idees originales et justes." L'Abbe JOSEPH ROUX:--"Il y a la des vues originales, des appreciations neuves et frappantes." FREDERIC MISTRAL:--"Ces pensees m'ont paru neuves et piquantes, et independantes de cette ambiance de prejuges a laquelle il est si difficile d'echapper." Le Pere P. V. DELAPORTE, S.J.
