War Songs of Britain. Selected by Harold E. Butler.

(Constable and Co. 2s. 6d. "war songs" Mr. Butler explains that he means the poets' record of the wars of Britain. "Songs" all the poems are not; but they make a fine collection. Some we miss ; Tennyson's "Charge of the Light Brigade" is here, but not "The Revenge." This is, however, not of Mr.. Butler's doing.
