" 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 

 student." The New York Observer*
