_PUNCH._—‘Dr. Conan Doyle has well named his verse “Songs of Action.” It pulsates with life and movement, whether the scenes be laid on sea or land, on ship or on horseback.’
_WORLD._—‘Dr. Conan Doyle has the gift of writing good rattling songs with all the swing of Rudyard Kipling.... His songs are full of high spirits and "go".’
Mr. QUILLER COUCH in the _SPEAKER_.—‘You may like them or not; you may think they were as easy to write as they are hard to get out of your memory; I make bold to promise that you will find it difficult to shut your memory upon them.’
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._—‘We congratulate Dr. Doyle on a volume that will add to his reputation.’
_ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS._—‘Some of the most stirring rhymes of this age of new-awakened “Imperialism.” Two little pieces in particular, “The Song of the Bow,” and “A Ballad of the Ranks,” deserve to become classics of their kind.’
_WESTMINSTER GAZETTE._—‘Dr. Conan Doyle’s songs are happily named. They are full of movement, and are for the most part moving. Especially full-blooded and buoyant are the hunting songs.’
_BOOKMAN._—‘There is no question but that, if Mr. Kipling be first favourite with the soldiers, Mr. Doyle should be their Laureate’s lieutenant, and that huntsmen and golfers should have his songs in their hearts and upon their lips.’
Author of ‘One of the Broken Brigade,’ ‘The Chicamon Stone,’ &c.
_TIMES._—‘These are bracing songs, full of the Imperial spirit, of healthy sentiment and fresh air, and not without a true sense of poetic style.’
_DAILY TELEGRAPH._—‘Stirring verses.... The patriotic note sounds through most of them, and rings clear and true.’
_OUTLOOK._—‘They throb with love of Britain and Empire, and are appropriately virile and straightforward.’
_DUNDEE ADVERTISER._—‘Establishes the author as a minor Kipling.... The book breathes Imperialism, loyalty, and native confidence, and it stimulates British pride like a draught of wine.’
