=THE HOME BOOK OF VERSE=

“A collection so complete and distinguished that it is difficult to find any other approaching it sufficiently for comparison.”—N. Y. Times Book Review.

Compiled by BURTON E. STEVENSON

Collects the best short poetry of the English language—not only the poetry everybody says is good, but also the verses that everybody reads. (3742 pages, India paper, complete author, title and first line indices.)

The most comprehensive and representative collection of American and English poetry ever published, including 3,120 unabridged poems from some 1,100 authors.

It brings together in one volume the best short poetry of the English language from the time of Spencer, with especial attention to American verse.

The copyright deadline has been passed, and some three hundred recent authors are included, very few of whom appear in any other general anthology, such as Lionel Johnson, Noyes, Housman, Mrs. Meynell, Yeats, Dobson, Lang, Watson, Wilde, Francis Thompson, Gilder, Le Gallienne, Van Dyke, Woodberry, Riley, etc., etc.

The poems as arranged by subject, and the classification is unusually close and searching. Some of the most comprehensive sections are: Children’s rhymes (300 pages); love poems (800 pages); nature poetry (400 pages); humorous verse (500 pages); patriotic and historical poems (600 pages); reflective and descriptive poetry (400 pages). No other collection contains so many popular favorites and fugitive verses.

=MASON’S HYPNOTISM AND SUGGESTION in Therapeutics Education, and Reform.= 344 pp. 12mo. $1.50.

=2d Impression= of a popular yet scientific work.

Book Buyer: “The tone of Dr. Mason’s book could not be better.... The statements of a modest, earnest, candid man of science, who is not thinking of himself, but who, through facts, is seeking after law and through law, for the newer therapeutics, the wider education, the nobler living.”

N. Y. Herald: “Written by a practising physician, who finds an incidental interest in the scientific study of an important subject. Dr. Mason does not seek to astonish you with the record of hypnotic marvels performed by himself. He deprecates the sensational ways in which hypnotism has been exploited by the periodicals and the press, so that the unlearned and unstable have been duped into all sorts of extravagant ideas as to its possibilities.”

Public Opinion: “A model of simplicity and common sense. The book gives a clear idea of the meaning of hypnotism and suggestion in a scientific sense, but it is to be more highly valued for its exposition of the utilities (and illustrations) of these agents of reform and therapeutics. The chapter concerning ‘Rapport’ is to be especially recommended to those who find in the phenomena of subconsciousness support for supernatural and spiritistic theories.”

Chicago Evening Post: “He discusses the question with earnestness, candor and many illustrations.... He says many things that are sensible and suggestive.”

Churchman: “The book has a very practical value, and considerable ethical significance.”

=MASON’S TELEPATHY AND THE SUBLIMINAL SELF.= Treating of Hypnotism, Automatism, Dreams, and Phantasms.

=5th Impression.= 343 pp. 12mo. $1.50.

Boston Transcript: “He repudiates the idea of the supernatural altogether, and in this he is in accord with the best thought of the day.... Interesting and logical.”

N. Y. Times: “The curious matter he treats about he presents in an interesting manner.”

Outlook: “Will have many readers.... A not inconsiderable contribution to psychical research.”

Chicago Tribune: “Certain to attract wide attention; ... thoroughly interesting.... The spirit of his work is such as to deserve respectful attention from every scientific mind.”
