The _WORLD_ says:--"The most admirable rendering of French poetry
into English that has come to our knowledge since Father Prout's
translation of 'La Chant du Cosaque.'"

MINUTIAE. By CHARLES WILLIAM DALMON. Royal 16mo, cloth elegant, price

The _ACADEMY_ says:--"His song has a rare and sweet note. The little
book has colour and fragrance, and is none the less welcome because
the fragrance is delicate, evanescent; the colours of white and
silver grey and lavender, rather than brilliant and exuberant.... Mr
Dalmon's genuine artistry. In his sonnets he shows a deft touch,
particularly in the fine one, 'Ecce Ancilla Domini.' Yet, after all,
it is in the lyrics that he is most individual.... Let him take
heart, for surely the song that he has to sing is worth singing."

Transcriber's Note:

Minor typographical errors have been corrected without note.
Inconsistent hyphenation has been standardised. [***] has been used
to represent an inverted asterism.

Based on the text in the Preface and the concluding lines of the
last chapter, the date in the sentence:

"If we fail to act before the 31st December, in the year 2000,
he will proceed." (p. 151)

has been amended to the year 1900, bearing in mind the story takes
place towards the end of the 19th century.
