"This combination of naval history, tactical criticism, and poetical appreciation affords a theme which seems specially suited to Mr. Newbolt's genius.... We can only be grateful to Mr. Newbolt for giving us a book at once opportune for the moment, and withal so written as to be valuable and interesting for much more than the moment."--_Times Literary Supplement_, July 7th, 1905.

ON THE FORGOTTEN ROAD
A CHRONICLE OF THE CRUSADE OF CHILDREN, WHICH HAPPENED IN THE YEAR 1212
By HENRY BAERLEIN, Author of "The Diwan of Abu'l Ala." _Crown 8vo. 6s._
"This brilliant historical novel.... Its style is so distinguished; it is so skilfully interlarded with mediævalisms. It reads as if it were an old chronicle; it is full of the quaint people of the Middle Ages, with their pointed shoes and fur-edged robes; it is full of the unruly youth of the thirteenth century.... 'On the Forgotten Road' has the flavour of Giotto in its pages."--_Queen._

A BOOK OF SAINTS AND WONDERS
ACCORDING TO THE OLD WRITINGS AND THE MEMORY OF THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. _Crown 8vo. 5s. net_
"The work imparts a fresh literary charm to the fine old tales about Saint Brigit, about Columcille, about St. Patrick, about the voyagers Maeldune and Brendan, and about many old legendary wonder-workers and uncanny adventurers. For an Irish youngster, or indeed for any one interested, to have the old Irish tales simply, faithfully, and sympathetically told, it would be hard indeed to find a better book."--_Scotsman._

It consists of original sketches and of translations from the Irish, and from beginning to end the atmosphere, which is delightful, is the same.... It has charm, and there is everywhere a felicity of simple phrase that is infinitely refreshing.... We are grateful to Lady Gregory for some hours that could not have been more pleasant if they had been spent in the country in actual converse with poets and dreamers." _Morning Post._

"Lady Gregory has added another leaf to the crown of laurel she is winning by her studies in ancient Gaelic folk-lore and legend. Her 'Gods and Fighting Men' is as naïvely delightful, as mentally refreshing and invigorating as her previous books.... She is at heart a poet, and the limitless wealth of imagination of the Irish mind, its quaintness and simplicity, its gravity and peculiar humour, have passed into her possession and inspired her pen to fine issues."--_Yorkshire Post._
