Aceldama. 425. Mr. Crowley’s earliest and most wonderful mystic poem. Less than 5 copies remain for sale. The Tale of Archais. 55. ** “A Gentleman of the University of Cambridge’ wields a wonderful pen, much of his workis exceed- ingly beautiful... . In conclusion, as far as descrip- tive power and. beauty of thought are concerned, we consider that the author of‘The Tale of Archais’ holds the first place among the latter-day poets.” — Cambridge Magazine. Songs of the Spirit. 35. 6d. Delicate lyrics, illustrating the vague, yet holy aspirations of adolescence. s¢. . . We have read with admiration for its in- tense spirituality, as well as for its technical super- iorities, . .. this volume,in which we are sure of having heard an impressive and an original voice. The verse of ‘Songs of the Spirit’—essentiallyin- tricate, introspective if you like—is also free from obvious artifice and eccentricity, it is fiery and clear measured and easy of phrasing.” — Manchester Guardian. 117
