 THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER, AND OTHER VERSES.


 * "Swinging, rattling ballads of ready humour, ready pathos, and crowding adventure… Stirring and entertaining ballads about great rides, in which the lines gallop like the very hoofs of the horses."

RIO GRANDE'S LAST RACE, AND OTHER VERSES.


 * "There is no mistaking the vigour of Mr. Paterson's verse; there is no difficulty in feeling the strong human interest which moves in it."

THE SECRET KEY, AND OTHER VERSES.


 * "There is… the breath of that apparently immortal spirit which has inspired… almost all that is best in English higher song."


 * "Mr. Evans has written many charming and musical poems… many pretty and haunting lines."

IN THE DAYS WHEN THE WORLD WAS WIDE, AND OTHER VERSES.


 * "These ballads (for such they mostly are) abound in spirit and manhood, in the colour and smell of Australian soil. They deserve the popularity which they have won in Australia, and which, we trust, this edition will now give them in England."
