- Mr. Kipling's verse is strong, vivid, full of character. . . . Unmistakable genius rings in every line.'—Times.
- 'The disreputable lingo of Cockayne is henceforth justified before the world; for a man of genius has taken it in hand, and has shown, beyond all cavilling, that in its way it also is a medium for literature. You are grateful, and you say to yourself, half in envy and half in admiration: 'Here is a took; here, or one is a Dutchman, is one of the books of the year.'—National Observer.
- '"Barrack-Room Ballads" contains some of the best work that Mr. Kipling has ever done, which is saying a good deal. 'Fuzzy-Wuzzy,' 'Gunga Din,' and 'Tommy,' are, in our opinion, altogether superior to anything of the kind that English literature has hitherto produced.'—Athenaeum.
- 'These ballads are as wonderful in their descriptive power as they are vigorous in their dramatic force. There are few ballads in the English language more stirring than 'The Ballad of East and West,' worthy to stand by the Border ballads of Scott.'—Spectator.

- 'Mr. Henley has brought to the task of selection an instinct alike for poetry and for chivalry which seems to us quite wonderfully, and even unerringly, right.'—Guardian.
Tomson. A SUMMER NIGHT, AND OTHER POEMS. By Graham R. Tomson. With Frontispiece by A. Tomson. Fcap. 8vo. 3s. 6d.
- Also an edition on handmade paper, limited to 50 copies. Large crown 8vo. 10s. 6d. net.
