BY THE AUTHOR OF "SONG FAVOURS."
MINUTI? By CHARLES WILLIAM DALMON. Royal 16mo, cloth elegant, price 2s. 6d.
The ACADEMY says:--"His song has a rare and sweet note. The little book has colour and fragrance, and is none the less welcome because the fragrance is delicate, evanescent; the colours of white and silver grey and lavender, rather than brilliant and exuberant.... Mr Dalmon's genuine artistry. In his sonnets he shows a deft touch, particularly in the fine one, 'Ecce Ancilla Domini.' Yet, after all, it is in the lyrics that he is most individual.... Let him take heart, for surely the song that he has to sing is worth singing."

Based on the text in the Preface and the concluding lines of the last chapter, the date in the sentence:
"If we fail to act before the 31st December, in the year 2000, he will proceed." (p. 151)
has been amended to the year 1900, bearing in mind the story takes place towards the end of the 19th century.
