#LOVE POEMS#, By W. R. TITTERTON. "Sincere, but somewhat realistic ... a good many deal with the misery of base passion and lost women."--_The Times._ "His pen is a whip that cuts to the bone of life. He is restrained by no conventions."--_The Daily News._ "The author deals sympathetically with love themes seldom touched on except in poetry more or less pagan in outlook."--_The Glasgow Herald._ A SECOND EDITION IN NOW IN THE PRESS Crown 8vo.
