_Other Works by Louis Vintras._

IN BLACK AND GOLD.

Impressions in Verse.

Crown 8vo. 1_s._ (_Out of Print._)

_THE STAR._--‘Some twelve impressions in verse ... entitled “In Black and Gold,” are remarkable for the cleverness of their subjects.... “At the Music Hall,” in its vivid description of the “music-hall Circe” who, mated to a lord, and gazing on the scene of her former triumphs, hears “the old Bohemian voice of Sin” asking if her marriage is worth one hour of such fame as was hers, is perhaps the best.’

PASSION ROYAL.

A Legendary Romance of Assyria.

Crown 8vo. 6_s._ London: CHAPMAN & HALL.

_THE ACADEMY._--‘The sumptuousness of Nineveh has touched the writer’s style, and his book is rich in colour.’

_THE LITERARY WORLD._--‘The book is a well-conceived and dramatic story.’

_THE SCOTSMAN._--‘The tale is really a romance of passion, the archæological interest, carefully wrought up and stimulating as it is, being always subordinate to the human. It is ably written.’

_THE PALL MALL GAZETTE._--‘Ninus, the priest-king, when the tale begins, is laying siege to Bactria. The fall of the city, the orgies of blood and lust, all the turmoil and din and wickedness of a great Eastern camp in the hour of victory are well described.... Mr. Vintras has written a very interesting romance, which certainly rewards perusal.’

LADY FOLLY.

London: HURST & BLACKETT, Ltd.

Crown 8vo. 6_s._

_THE BOOKMAN._--‘But it is the villain of the piece, the beautiful and strong-nerved Violet Merveil, who provides the real entertainment. Whether fighting a bishop or fascinating him; whether bent on ruining domestic happiness, or queening it on the stage, or humbly performing her Roman devotions, she is always admirable and admirably attired.’

_THE DAILY TELEGRAPH._--‘Dr. Louis Vintras ... stands convicted of being a subtle and genial humorist, endowed with a lively imagination, a happy turn for repartee and epigram, and a remarkable faculty for divining or detecting the hidden springs and more recondite motives of hidden action. Dr. Vintras is, moreover, a master of elegant and idiomatic English.... “Lady Folly” is destined to take rank among the conspicuous literary successes of the current season.’

_THE ACADEMY._--‘With absorbed interest you follow his course, for the style is brilliant and captivating.... Of smart portraiture and clever dialogue “Lady Folly” is full.’

_THE SATURDAY REVIEW._--‘His descriptions are singularly striking.’

A PAGAN SOUL.

London: HURST & BLACKETT, Ltd.

Crown 8vo. 6_s._

_THE DAILY TELEGRAPH._--‘The book is eminently conversational, and teams with “quip and repartee,” with colloquial lunges and ripostes in carte and tierce, with unforced smartness and “good things” said no less naturally than effectively.’

_THE SATURDAY REVIEW._--‘Louis Vintras ought to write a play. His dialogue and epigrams are excellent.’

_Poetry Published at the Unicorn._

THE VINE DRESSER. By T. STURGE MOORE. Fcap. 8vo. cloth gilt, 5_s._ net.

_The Times._--‘Mr. Moore has an individual talent and a gift of distinction. The first poem in the book--a recipe for making Coän wine, supposed to have been “sent from Egypt with a fair robe of tissue to a Sicilian vine-dresser, B.C. 276”--is like a cameo with its clear-cut images of sea and Sicily.’

APHRODITE AGAINST ARTEMIS. A Play. By T. STURGE MOORE. Small 4to. cloth gilt, 5_s._ net.

_The Pall Mall Gazette._--‘There is a growing sense of terror in the scene, that raises the work to a point of high perfection; the gloom of an advancing fate deepens gradually and imperceptibly, and the final picture is grimly painted and expressive. This is a work of great promise, the production of an earnest and sincere artist.’

THE CRIER BY NIGHT. A Play. By GORDON BOTTOMLEY. Fcap. 4to. half parchment, 2_s._ 6_d._ net.

_The Literary World._--‘The best piece of work that so far he has made public.... We hope Mr. Bottomley’s play will be put upon the stage.’

ODES. By LAURENCE BINYON. With a Woodcut Title-page after WILLIAM STRANG. Crown 8vo. cloth gilt, 2_s._ 6_d._ net.

_The Athenæum._--‘Mr. Binyon is slowly but surely winning for himself a distinguished place in the ranks of contemporary poetry. He has the right temper; he does not cry aloud in the streets, or make any attempt to catch the veering of the popular taste, but is content to write for the sake of having written, with invariable sincerity of thought, directness of vision, and conscientious craftmanship. The best of these Odes are on the highest level of achievement.’

RUE. By LAURENCE HOUSMAN. Imp. 16mo. cloth gilt, 3_s._ 6_d._ net.

_The Pall Mall Gazette._--‘It is poetry, and not merely accomplished verse.’

JOHN OF DAMASCUS. By DOUGLAS AINSLIE. Fcap. 8vo. half bound, 6_s._ net. Third and greatly enlarged edition.

_The Outlook._--‘On the whole it is safe to say that we have not had anything quite so spontaneous, so fresh, so deft, and so promising for a considerable time past.... He rhymes you page upon page of the soundest, frankest, and prettiest stuff, never getting out of breath, never faltering or hesitating, and never tumbling into the sloughs and quagmires that beset the long-winded.’

A SHORT DAY’S WORK. Original Poems, Translations, and Prose Essays. By MONICA PEVERIL TURNBULL. With a Portrait. Crown 8vo. cloth gilt, 2_s._ 6_d._ net. Third Edition.

_The Spectator._--‘A book which can be read through in an hour, but is not likely to be forgotten in a lifetime.’

THE LITTLE CHRISTIAN YEAR. Medium 16mo. vellum gilt, 2_s._ 6_d._ net.

_The Pall Mall Gazette._--‘Signed everywhere with the sensitive signature of intellectual emotion.’

_The Artist’s Library._

EDITED BY LAURENCE BINYON.

_The Volumes of the Artist’s Library are Foolscap Quartos (8½ × 6¾ inches). The Letterpress is on antique laid paper. The Illustrations are all separately printed. The price is 2s. 6d. net each volume, in paper boards, with cloth back, or 3s. 6d. net in buckram, extra gilt._

HOKUSAI. By C. J. HOLMES. With Twenty Full-page Plates, including Four Plates printed in Colours. Second Edition.

_Le Mercure de France._--‘Ce beau volume est nécessaire à tous les artistes et à tous ceux qui aiment l’art.’

GIOVANNI BELLINI. By ROGER E. FRY. With Twenty-three Full-page Plates, including Three Photogravures. Second Edition.

_Literature._--‘A model of its kind. It is beautifully printed and bound, and both letter-press and illustrations are exceptionally good.’

ALTDORFER. By T. STURGE MOORE. With Twenty-five pages of Illustrations, most of them in tints.

_The Saturday Review_ (in two-column notice).--‘Mr. Sturge Moore is the right sympathetic expounder of this half-childish secluded nature. His own imagination, with its delight in quaint surprises of observation and sharp simplicities of expression, fits him to handle an art that is not for everybody, and at whose gates heavy trespassers should rather be warned by notice-boards than strollers invited by guide-posts.’

GOYA. By WILL ROTHENSTEIN. With Twenty Full-page Plates, including Three Photogravures and Nine Tinted Prints.

CONSTABLE. By C. J. HOLMES. With Twenty-four Full-page Plates.
