“An Authentic Original Voice in Literature.”—_The Atlantic Monthly._

ROBERT FROST The New American Poet

NORTH OF BOSTON

_Alice Brown_:

“Mr. Frost has done truer work about New England than anybody—except Miss Wilkins.”

_New York Evening Sun_:

“The poet had the insight to trust the people with the book of the people and the people replied ‘Man, what is your name?’... He forsakes utterly the claptrap of pastoral song, classical or modern.... His is soil stuff, not mock bucolics.”

_Boston Transcript_:

“The first poet for half a century to express New England life completely with a fresh, original and appealing way of his own.”

_Brooklyn Daily Eagle_:

“The more you read the more you are held, and when you return a few days later to look up some passage that has followed you about, the better you find the meat under the simple unpretentious form. _The London Times_ caught that quality when it said: ‘Poetry burns up out of it, as when a faint wind breathes upon smouldering embers.’... That is precisely the effect....”

A BOY’S WILL Mr. Frost’s First Volume of Poetry

_The Academy_ (_London_):

“We have read every line with that amazement and delight which are too seldom evoked by books of modern verse.”

=_JEAN-CHRISTOPHE_=

=_By ROMAIN ROLLAND_=

Translated from the French by GILBERT CANNAN. In three volumes, each $1.50 net.

This great trilogy, the life story of a musician, at first the sensation of musical circles in Paris, has come to be one of the most discussed books among literary circles in France, England and America.

Each volume of the American edition has its own individual interest, can be understood without the other, and comes to a definite conclusion.

_The three volumes with the titles of the French volumes included are:_

=JEAN-CHRISTOPHE= Dawn—Morning—Youth—Revolt

=JEAN-CHRISTOPHE IN PARIS= The Market Place—Antoinette—The House

=JEAN-CHRISTOPHE: JOURNEY’S END= Love and Friendship—The Burning Bush—The New Dawn

_Some Noteworthy Comments_

“‘Hats off, gentlemen—a genius.’... One may mention ‘Jean-Christophe’ in the same breath with Balzac’s ‘Lost Illusions’; it is as big as that.... It is moderate praise to call it with Edmund Gosse ’the noblest work of fiction of the twentieth century.’... A book as big, as elemental, as original as though the art of fiction began today.... We have nothing comparable in English literature....”—_Springfield Republican._

“If a man wishes to understand those devious currents which make up the great, changing sea of modern life, there is hardly a single book more illustrative, more informing and more inspiring.”—_Current Opinion._

“Must rank as one of the very few important works of fiction of the last decade. A vital compelling work. We who love it feel that it will live.”—_Independent._

“The most momentous novel that has come to us from France, or from any other European country, in a decade.”—_Boston Transcript._

_A 32-page booklet about Romain Rolland and Jean-Christophe, with portraits and complete reviews, on request._

=_THE HOME BOOK OF VERSE_=

“A collection so complete and distinguished that it is difficult to find any other approaching it sufficiently for comparison.”—_N. Y. Times Book Review._

Compiled by BURTON E. STEVENSON

Collects the best short poetry of the English language—not only the poetry everybody says is good, but also the verses that everybody reads. (_3742 pages, India paper, complete author, title and first line indices._)

The most comprehensive and representative collection of American and English poetry ever published, including 3,120 unabridged poems from some 1,100 authors.

It brings together in one volume the best short poetry of the English language from the time of Spencer, with especial attention to American verse.

The copyright deadline has been passed, and some three hundred recent authors are included, very few of whom appear in any other general anthology, such as Lionel Johnson, Noyes, Housman, Mrs. Meynell, Yeats, Dobson, Lang, Watson, Wilde, Francis Thompson, Gilder, Le Gallienne, Van Dyke, Woodberry, Riley, etc., etc.

The poems as arranged by subject, and the classification is unusually close and searching. Some of the most comprehensive sections are: Children’s rhymes (300 pages); love poems (800 pages); nature poetry (400 pages); humorous verse (500 pages); patriotic and historical poems (600 pages); reflective and descriptive poetry (400 pages). No other collection contains so many popular favorites and fugitive verses.

=MASON’S HYPNOTISM AND SUGGESTION in Therapeutics Education, and Reform.= 344 pp. 12mo. $1.50.

=2d Impression= of a popular yet scientific work.

_Book Buyer_: “The tone of Dr. Mason’s book could not be better.... The statements of a modest, earnest, candid man of science, who is not thinking of himself, but who, through facts, is seeking after law and through law, for the newer therapeutics, the wider education, the nobler living.”

_N. Y. Herald_: “Written by a practising physician, who finds an incidental interest in the scientific study of an important subject. Dr. Mason does not seek to astonish you with the record of hypnotic marvels performed by himself. He deprecates the sensational ways in which hypnotism has been exploited by the periodicals and the press, so that the unlearned and unstable have been duped into all sorts of extravagant ideas as to its possibilities.”

_Public Opinion_: “A model of simplicity and common sense. The book gives a clear idea of the meaning of hypnotism and suggestion in a scientific sense, but it is to be more highly valued for its exposition of the utilities (and illustrations) of these agents of reform and therapeutics. The chapter concerning ‘Rapport’ is to be especially recommended to those who find in the phenomena of subconsciousness support for supernatural and spiritistic theories.”

_Chicago Evening Post_: “He discusses the question with earnestness, candor and many illustrations.... He says many things that are sensible and suggestive.”

_Churchman_: “The book has a very practical value, and considerable ethical significance.”

=MASON’S TELEPATHY AND THE SUBLIMINAL SELF.= Treating of Hypnotism, Automatism, Dreams, and Phantasms.

=5th Impression.= 343 pp. 12mo. $1.50.

_Boston Transcript_: “He repudiates the idea of the supernatural altogether, and in this he is in accord with the best thought of the day.... Interesting and logical.”

_N. Y. Times_: “The curious matter he treats about he presents in an interesting manner.”

_Outlook_: “Will have many readers.... A not inconsiderable contribution to psychical research.”

_Chicago Tribune_: “Certain to attract wide attention; ... thoroughly interesting.... The spirit of his work is such as to deserve respectful attention from every scientific mind.”
