"Those who seek power combined with music, will find it in the poetry of Robert Buchanan."-ESCOTT'S ENGLAND. "The dumb wistful yearning in man to something higher-yearning such as the animal creation showed in the Greek period towards the human-has not as yet found any interpreter equal to Buchanan."-THE SPECTATOR. "In the great power of appealing to universal Humanity lies Buchanan's security. The light of Nature has been his guide, and the human heart his study. He must unquestionably attain an exalted rank among the poets of this century, and produce works which cannot fail to be accepted as incontestably great, and worthy of the world's preservation."-CONTEMPORARY REVIEW. "Buchanan is the most faithful poet of Nature among the new men. He is her familiar. Like no British poet save himself, he knows her."-STEDMAN'S VICTORIAN POETS. Messrs. CHATTO & WINDUS have made arrangements to issue a new and complete edition of Mr. Buchanan's Poems, both those included in the first Library Edition (now exhausted) and those hitherto published anonymously. They will appear in the following order, with illustrations by well-known artists. VOL. I.-LONDON POEMS. Including, besides the contents of the first three editions, a number of additional poems. "In their way, some of the finest poems of this generation."-The Spectator. "The boldest experiment in modern poetry since Wordsworth."-Glasgow Herald. VOL. II.-MEG BLANE, AND OTHER NARRATIVE POEMS. "A success striking, transcendant. In 'Meg Blane' he has risen to a loftier height of gaunt sublimity, he has reached a deeper vein of pathos than even in 'London Poems.' This work is, indeed, one of the masterpieces of English literature."-Literary World. VOL. III. THE BOOK OF ORM, ETC. "A majesty and a beauty, a tenderness and deep teaching of love, which show Mr. Buchanan at the very best and noblest manifestation of his undoubted poetic genius. A volume to be read and re-read with pleasure and potent teaching; and parts of it will long survive the generation that saw its birth."-Daily Telegraph. VOL. IV.-BALDER THE BEAUTIFUL. "A sublime poem."-The Graphic. "This important and splendid poem, by one of our greatest living poets."Literary World. VOL. V.-ST. ABE, WHITE ROSE AND RED, ETC. See also end of this volume.
