AND OTHER VERSES. (By GEORGE POWICK BROWN.) 64 pages octavo; price Is 6d; obtainable from booksellers throughout New Zealand. SOME PRESS NOTES: "Much of Mr Brown's verse may be described as "Bulletinesque," and -indeed some of it has already appeaired in the popular pink-covered journa.. .... Some of the verse is philosophical in character; some, again, betokens Jofty imagination. "Ixion's Wheel" and "The Life Eternal" are eases in point."—The Evening Poef;, Wellington. "Mr Brown's muse is of the versatile order—now sentimental, anon deeply philosophic, and then whimsically humorous. . . . The three score of pieces in the book of 64 pages are deserving ol a wide circle of readers."—The Audiland Star. ". . . . Brown is not quite eo adept a versifier as .he i 6 a journalist, but there is 'meat' in all his metrical essays. . . . Perhaps the most impressive noCe the Levin bard strikes is the unaffected humanity which permeates many of his stanzas. ... In a truly Literary senile "The Lay of the Bantry Bay' is near the foot of the catalogue; nevertheless it contains plenty of en. tertainmenb and not a little helpful instruction for those homely folk whose bnains swim in the higher flights of poesy."—The Christcliurch Sun. ". . . . In this comprehensive colL lection we see the poet at his beet ('A Truce to the Outward Bound,' 'Yacht. 1 Song' and 'Gyranibo, Gyroosh and [ Gyrali')—and also <at his worst, in the ; reproduction of much of his' contribu- | tions to the Levin Chronicle, what | time he was editor of that journal."
