RICHARD Le GALLIENNE.
PROSE FANCIES; second series, by the author of "The Book-bills of Narcissus," etc., with a cover designed by Frank Hazenplug. 16mo. $1.25.
"In these days of Beardsley pictures and decadent novels, it is good to find a book as sweet, as pure, as delicate as Mr. Le Gallienne's."—New Orleans Picayune.
"Prose Fancies ought to be in everyone's summer library, for it is just the kind of a book one loves to take to some secluded spot to read and dream over."—Kansas City Times.
"There are witty bits of sayings by the score, and sometimes whole paragraphs of nothing but wit. Somewhere there is a little skit about 'Scotland, the country that takes its name from the whisky made there,' and the transposed proverb like: 'It is an ill wind for the shorn lamb,' and 'Many rise on the stepping stones of their dead relatioins,' are brilliant. 'Most of us would never be heard of were it not for our enemies,' is a capital epigram."—Chicago Times-Herald.
"Mr. Le Gallienne is first of all a poet, and these little essays, which savor somewhat of Lamb, of Montaigne, of Lang, and of Birrell, are larded with verse of exquisite grace. He rarely ventures into the grotesque, but his 6ncy follows fair paths; a certain quaintness of expression and the idyllic atmosphere of the book charm one at the beginning and carry one through the nineteen 'fancies' that comprise the volume."—Chicago Record.
MARIA LOUISE POOL.
IN BUNCOMBE COUNTY. 16mo. $1.25.
- A volume of connected sketches of country life in the South. It is on the order of Miss Pool's recent book entitled "In a Dike Shanty" which received such favorable comment. It is not sensational; it is not exciting; it is merely peaceful and pleasing, with a quiet current of delightful humor running all through.
