OECOND EDITION "BEHIND THE TOMB," And Other Poems, BY THOMAS BRACKEN Neatly Bound in Green Cloth— Price 2s. By Post, 2s. 6d. Opinions of the Pbess. He is flueut and facile in expression, whild in the construction of his stanzas he shows a correct ear for rhythm.— Argus, 13th June, 1871. The majority of the compositions in this volume are creditable to the writer, both as regards sentiment and diction. — Australasian, 14th June, 1871. The author has some of the true music of poetry in his soul, and his verses have in them much that is generous and pure, with a generally apt, and oftentimes eloquent expression. . . . The last verses we have cited are, in our opinion, rot undeserving of comparison with the plaintive sounds, the simple eloquence, and natural beauty of Tenuysen's "May Queen." We gladly commend the book to every man and woman's fireside.— Ballarat Star, 18th July, 1871. The poet is no mean rhymster, and a healthy tone pervades the emanations of his muse. . . . There are many genuine flowers of poesy scattered through the book. — Collingwood Advertiser. The work deserves a place on the lightreading shelf of every fumily library. — Australian Journal. The book before us contains tome good pieces, which fairly entitle the author to take a place among the poets of our day. . . . " Sad thoughts," "Years are Stealing," ""April here and April there," and " GuaUin a Chiel," have the true ring of poetry. — Dunedin Evening Star. Some of the poems are of more than ordinary merit, and full of progressive ideas and foregleams of immortality. ... As a whole, the collection will bear favorable comparison with many of the works issued from the London Press.— Harbinger of Light, March, 1872. JOSEPH BRAITHWAITE, Arcade.
