THE CROCK OF GOLD.
THE TIMES.—"It is crammed full of life and beauty . . . this delicious, fantastical, amorphous, inspired medley of topsy-turvydom."
PUNCH.—"A fairy fantasy, elvish, grotesque, realistic, allegorical, humorous, satirical, dealistic, and poetical by turns . . . and very beautiful."

THE DEMI-GODS.
THE STANDARD.—"The book is full of fine knowledge and fantasies in every shade of gaiety and gravity, and we would call its author a magician did we not feel that everything he writes is perfectly natural to him. . . . This book would prove, if proof were needed, that Mr. Stephens's Crock of Gold was not a mere tour de force, but a real ebullition of genius and a token of all the good work that was to come."

HERE ARE LADIES.
THE TIMES.—"A story may have many and diverse effects upon its reader. It may leave him smiling, laughing, frowning (perhaps weeping), angry, perplexed, exalted, afraid. The bits of stories in Here are Ladies, the sketches, essays, snapshots, call them what you will, will leave him for the most part happy and hungry—for more."

THE CHARWOMAN'S DAUGHTER.
PUNCH.—"It is a very long time indeed since we read such a human, satisfying book. Every page contains some happy phrase or illuminating piece of character-drawing."

SONGS FROM THE CLAY.
THE EVENING STANDARD.—"They have the sense of elfin mischief and keen spiritual sympathy with inarticulate nature which is so recognisable a feature of all Mr. Stephens's writings, prose and verse. Many of the poems are models of that simplicity which is the supreme art of poesy, and in all may be found an underlying verity, masked maybe with smiles or tears.'

THE STANDARD.—"One may meet such a singer as Mr. Stephens with rejoicing and surprise. His lyrics are bright as dew on the eyes of a child, fresh as mornings in spring, cheerful as the twitter of birds, natural and melodious as the wind's music."

REINCARNATIONS.
THE OUTLOOK.—"Mr. Stephens has taken the idea and general drift of various poems in the original Irish and recast in English metres and language, much as FitzGerald did with the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam. . . . The poems are eminently successful in their result."
