" One of the most charming books of this season ... is filled 

 with beautiful garden scenes, where sun-dials of all sorts, simple 

 and ornate, mark the sunny hours amid roses. A fine rose scroll, 

 adapted from a design in a psalter of 1492, embellishes the title- 

 page; capitals taken from ancient and beautiful books enrich 

 the chapter headings. All this, apart from the interest of the 

 information imparted with graceful tact and the enthusiasm of 

 a student." — The New York Observer.
