Mr. Masefield writes the introduction to The Poems of Duncan

Campbell Scott (Dent, 12s. 6d.), calling attention to the author's interesting and varied portraits of Canadian Indians and to the romantic fantasy of " The Piper of Arll," which takes us to a bay, where three pines stood on the encircling height, looking at sunset " like three warriors, reeving home the plunder of a burning town."

" And there a ship one evening stood, Where ship had never stood before ; A pennon bickered red as blood, An angel glimmered at the prore."

Mr. Scott is a poet who should be better known.
