NOTICES OF BOOKS.

From the Society for the Propagation of Religious Truth, Boleskin [sic].—'The Argonauts,' by Aleister Crowley. 

The severity and chasteness of the ancient Greek drama are very evident in this five-act play, but the true spirit is not here. Mr. Crowley's talent is not, we think, suited to the subject he has chosen; he has undoubted poetic gifts, and at times attains to a height not often reached by our minor poets, but he would have been more successful had he chosen a more modern theme.
