--Works by Sir _Francis Hastings Doyle_, Professor of Poetry in the University of Oxford:-- THE RETURN OF THE GUARDS, AND OTHER POEMS. Fcap. 8vo. 7_s_. "_Good wine needs no bush, nor good verse a preface; and Sir Francis Doyle's verses run bright and clear, and smack of a classic vintage.... His chief characteristic, as it is his greatest charm, is the simple manliness which gives force to all he writes. It is a characteristic in these days rare enough_."--_Examiner_. LECTURES ON POETRY, delivered before the University of Oxford in 1868. Extra crown 8vo. 3_s_. 6_d_. THREE LECTURES:--(1) _Inaugural_; (2) _Provincial Poetry_; (3) _Dr. Newman's "Dream of Gerontius_." "_Full of thoughtful discrimination and fine insight: the lecture on 'Provincial Poetry' seems to us singularly true, eloquent, and instructive_."--_Spectator_. Evans ----- BROTHER FABIAN'S MANUSCRIPT, AND OTHER POEMS. By _Sebastian Evans_. Fcap. |
