as to look at." =Guardian.=--"Just the kind of book that would help a tourist in Norfolk and Suffolk to see what ought to be seen with the proper measure of enjoyment." =Graphic.=--"It is a prettily got up and readable little book." =Saturday Review.=--"Will be welcomed by all who have come under the charm of East Anglia." =_A Man Adrift._= Being Leaves from a Nomad's Portfolio. By BART KENNEDY, Author of "Darab's Wine-Cup," "The Wandering Romanoff," etc. This very entertaining book is a narrative of adventures in all parts of the world. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s. =_Woman and the Wits._= Epigrams on Woman, Love, and Beauty. Collected and edited by G. F.

Crown 8vo, art cloth, gilt extra, gilt top, 2s. 6d. nett. =Sun.=--"Mr Longstaff has real fire and passion in all of his work. He has a graceful touch and a tuneful ear. There is exquisite melody in his metre." =Echo.=--"The poetry of passion is no rarity to-day, yet scarcely since the date of Philip Bourke Marston's 'Song Tide' has such an arresting and whole-hearted example of this class of poetry been issued by any English author as the volume which Mr William Luther Longstaff entitles 'Weeds and Flowers.' Passion, tumultuous and unabashed, sensuous rapture openly flaunting its shame, love in maddest surrender risking all, daring all, these are the dominant motives of Mr Longstaff's muse. So wild is the rush of his emotion--all storm and fire and blood--to such white heat does he forge his burning phrases, so subtly varied are the constantly recurring expressions of love's ecstasy, its despair, its bereavement, its appetite, its scorn, so happy sometimes are the unexpected metrical changes and experiments herein adopted, that the younger poet might suggest discreet comparisons with the earlier Swinburne." =Morning Herald.=--"The book contains _real_ poetry. There is always thought and force in the work. 'At the Gate' is not merely Swinburnian in metre; in all things it might well have come from that poet's pen." * * * * * Greening's Masterpiece Library =_Vathek._= An Eastern Romance.
