The King's Last Vigil. By Lady Lindsay. "The Masterpiece Library. "

(Review of Reviews Office.)—The latest number of Mr. Stead's "Masterpiece Library " is a selection from Lady Lindsay's poems. Though we cannot entirely agree with Mr. Stead's esti- mate of their poetic value, we gladly admit that these poems con- tain much that is graceful and accomplished. The verse has melody, and the thought, if not specially original, is always sincere.
