SONGS OF A A WAYFARER.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"Had Mr. Davies' poems been published two hundred years ago, the world would now be quoting them as marvellous examples of poetic grace and sentiment."—Examiner.

"Passing from the author's faults to his merits, we feel a pleasure in inviting special attention to a poem called 'The Garden,' which, from its calm and classical sweetness, would appear to be modelled after Ben Jonson, or some of his followers, and which, in its own particular style, appears to us to be almost perfect. We should willingly give an extract from this little gem if we could legitimately do so; but it would be like cutting a single figure from an historical group, or treating the works of a landscapepainter like an Ordnance map."—Athenæum.

"The Wayfarer' must doubtless take his place among the poets of our day."-London Quarterly Review.

"It is not often that an unknown writer, coming before us with an unheralded volume of verse, claims a kindlier recognition than is due to Mr. Davies for the present book."-Pall Mall Gazette.

"These songs flow from a mind that contains as genuine a vein of poetry as has been revealed for some time. . . . We feel that, in noticing a volume of this kind, specimens, not descriptions, are wanted; and yet there is difficulty in knowing what to quote, the songs are so uniformly excellent. Yet to describe one peculiarity a trial must be made. That sense of indefiniteness-that feeling as if the poet had not said everything, but left you much to create -that condensation carried to such a pitch that the reader, feeling within him emotions not manifestly called up by the lines which he has read, fancies that he owes them to himself all this is present."-Scotsman.

"Mr. Davies writes like a modernised Herrick: modernised, it must be understood, both in language and thought, for there. is nothing of the grossness that disfigures the 'Hesperides.'" Spectator.

66 6

'Songs of a Wayfarer' are the product of a highly-cultured mind and a genuinely poetic temperament."-Daily Telegraph.
