nd, though their satire
is directed against political situations and national characteristics
rather than personal frailties, they yet retain that quality of mordant
criticism that is so prominent a feature of this well-known artist's work.

PRINCE AZREEL

A Poem with Prose Notes

BY ARTHUR LYNCH

_Crown 8vo. 5s. net_

_DIRECT--INSPIRING--COMPELLING_

The cry for something new in literature, the indefinable, the unexpected,
has been answered. Prince Azreel comes to claim his place, not as one who
has sounded the depths and shoals of the current modes of the day, but as
one entirely careless of these things, discoursing freely of life, easily
throughout its whole purport and scope.

The Devil comes into the action, but he also is new--rather the Spirit of
the World, "man's elder brother." His methods are those neither of _Faust_
nor of _Paradise Regained_. His temptations are suasive, his lures less
material.

In the search for the Ideal of statesmanship Azreel and the Devil come to
our own Parliament, Azreel filled with warm enthusiasm, high conceptions.
They see, they learn; they discover "types," and discuss them. We find the
Devil at length defending the Commons, supplying the corrective to
Azreel's strange disillusions. This part will not be the least piquant.

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.
