By Kenyon Cox
There is no one writing of art today with the vitality that fills
every paragraph of Mr. Cox’s work. Its freedom from what has
become almost a conventional jargon in much art criticism, and
the essential interest of every comment and suggestion, account
for an altogether exceptional success that his book on The
Classic Spirit has had within the last few years, and that will
be repeated with this volume.

The Poems of Edgar Allen Poe
With an Introduction by E. C. Stedman and Notes by Professor
G. E. Woodberry.
Nearly half a century passed after the death of Poe before the
appearance of the Stedman-Woodberry Edition of his works, which
embodies in its editorial departments critical scholarship of the
highest class. In this volume of Poe’s “Poems” the introduction
and the notes treat not only of the more significant aspects of
Poe’s genius as a poet, but his technical methods, and of scores
of bibliographical and personal matters suggested by his verses.
Entirely reset in larger type.

In Dickens’ London
By F. Hopkinson Smith
The rare versatility of an author who can transfer to paper his
impressions of atmosphere as well in charcoal sketch as in
charmingly told description has made this book an inspiration to
the lover of Dickens and to the lover of London. The dusty old
haunts of dusty old people, hid forever but for Dickens, are
visited again and found little changed. Where modern things have
crept in they are noticed with quick observation, keen humor, and
that sympathy with the human which the author shares with the
great Dickens himself.
Illustrated with 24 full-page illustrations from the author’s
drawings in charcoal. $3.50 net; postage extra.
Robert Frank
By Sigurd Ibsen
Henry Ibsen’s only son is the author of this drama, which William
Archer, the distinguished English critic, considers convincing
proof that he possesses, “dramatic faculty in abundance.” Mr.
Archer defines it as “a powerful and interesting play which
claims attention on its own merits,” “eminently a play of today,
or, rather, perhaps, of tomorrow.”

Gentlemen:
Mason & Hamlin Pianos are the most consistently artistic
instruments that are made today. Not only do the Concert Grands
completely satisfy the demands of the artist, but those qualities
of touch, beauty, even scale, and responsive action that so
eminently characterize them are possessed in a similar degree by
the smaller Grands and Uprights.

THE EGOIST
AN INDIVIDUALIST REVIEW
Those who wish a slight respite from the strain of war should
read THE EGOIST.
BECAUSE
It contains no articles by naval and military experts;
No tales of atrocities;
It continues to publish its literary and dramatic articles,
poetry and serial stories;
Its leaders on the war deal exclusively with the philosophic side
of that phenomenon;
Its only “war news” consists of an extremely interesting personal
diary of the war in Paris, kept by Mme. Ciolkowska.
CONTRIBUTORS: Dora Marsden, Ford Madox Hueffer, Allen Apward,
James Joyce, Remy de Gourmont, Ezra Pound, Richard Aldington,
Mme. Ciolkowska, J. G. Fletcher, H. D., Amy Lowell, F. S. Flint,
Leigh Henry, Huntly Carter, R. W. Kauffman, William Carlos
Williams, Frances Gregg, Robert Frost, etc., etc.
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: Yearly, U. S. A. $3.25; six months, $1.65;
three months, 85 cents. Single copies, post free, 7d cents.
Subscriptions should be sent to Miss H. S. Weaver, Oakley House,
Bloomsbury Street, London, W. C.
Transcriber’s Notes
At the bottom of page 1, within Amy Lowell's _The Allies_, there is the
centered word
(_Over_)
which seems out of place and is not found in later editions of the text.
Speculating whether this was printed on purpose, e.g., to inform the
reader to turn over the page to read the rest, we decided to reproduce
it here as it was printed.
Advertisements were collected at the end of the text.
The table of contents on the title page was adjusted in order to reflect
correctly the headings in this issue of THE LITTLE REVIEW.
The original spelling was mostly preserved. A few obvious typographical
errors were silently corrected. All other changes are shown here
