A charming volume of metrical comedies, ballads, and lyrics. Glasgow is referred to in the title ballad, many of the rest are steeped in traditional lore, and the two comedies are metrical versions of old Scots folk-tales.
"There are in the book many charming lyrical poems which ... show always the sentiment of a latter-day singer playing sweetly and gracefully round the sempiternal themes of poetry. The two Comedies are clever, simple, and fresh. The book will be read with especial interest by lovers of Poetry who favour Scottish themes."--_The Scotsman._
"The author has talent; his work flows easily and 'lets itself be read.'"--_The Birmingham Post._
"... A good deal in the vein of Burns. The author is a pleasant versifier."--_The Times._
"The poems show distinct lyrical faculty. The author's management of various metres is throughout true and musical."--_Aberdeen Daily Journal._
"These poems treat of the common interests of daily life ... appeal to a wide audience, and are sure to give widespread pleasure."--_Aberdeen Free Press._

#THE SANITY OF ART: An Exposure of the current nonsense about artists being degenerate.# By G. BERNARD SHAW.
"A scathing indictment of Max Nordau's 'Degeneration.' Mr. Shaw's book should prove wholesome reading for the section of cranks who, like Nordau, shower abuse upon everything that departs from conventional standards."--_The Daily Mail._
"We confess that the perusal of so adroit an exercise in special pleading is thoroughly calculated to give pleasure to all admirers of ready wit and swift, felicitous phrasing ... packed with good argument, admirably employed and wielded."--_The Daily Telegraph._
