 BY THE SAME AUTHOR The Faithful : A Tragedy in Three Acts By JOHN MASEFIELD C/oiA, $i.2j. Leather, $i.6o Mr. Masefield's contributions to dramatic literature are held in quite as high esteem by his admirers as his narrative poems. In " The Faithful," his new play, he is at his best. " A striking drama ... a notable work that will meet with the hearty appre- ciation of discerning readers." — The Nation. Philip the King, and Other Poems By JOHN MASEFIELD Author of " The Tragedy of Pompey," " The Everlasting Mercy," " The Daffo- dil Fields " Cloth, i2mo, $i.2j. Leather, $i.6o " Mr. Masefield's new poetical drama is a piece of work such as only the au- thor of • Nan ■ and ' The Tragedy of Pompey ' could have written, tense in situ- ation and impressive in its poetry. ... In addition to this important play, the volume contains some new and powerful narrative poems of the sea — the men who live on it and their ships. There are also some shorter lyrics as well as an impressive poem on the present war in Europe which expresses, perhaps, better than anything yet written, the true spirit of England in the present struggle." " Mr. Masefield has never done anything better than these poems." — Argonaut, " The compelling strength of John Masefield's genius is revealed in the mem- orable poem, ' August, 1914,' published in his latest volume of poetry." — Review of Reviews.
