"The ivy seems to cling round his heart, and the sweet-scented 

 honeysuckle to twine its branches round his imagination. He writes, 

 as it were, in a bower of wild flowers, and the sweet scents of the forest 

 and the meadow hover, with balmy freshness, round his pen." 



Popular Science Review. 



"Mr. HEATH not only knows Dame Nature in all her moods, but 

 loves every scrap of her handiwork, and it is this reverent affection, 

 infusing itself into all he writes, which gives his books their special 

 charm." Globe. 



" Mr. HEATH'S writings on the poetry of forest and field are fas- 

 cinating in the highest degree." Queen. 



" No author of the present generation has gone more deeply into 

 the study of foliage than he, or thought and written so constantly and 

 so well upon this and kindred subjects." Harper's Magazine. 



" Mr. HEATH has now passed from the tender blooms of spring to 

 the sunset-dyed glories of autumn, but we recognise in the book before 

 us ('Autumnal Leaves') the mind of long ago. There is the same 

 tender regard for all that in nature lives ; the same keen insight for 

 revealing wonders unseen by the casual passer-by ; the same power of 

 holding his readers' deepest attention ; and the same gift of adorning 

 each subject to which he sets his hand." Tablet. 



THE CALL OF THE WOODS. 



" No one can read Mr. FRANCIS GEORGE HEATH on the subject of 

 ferns and trees without feeling the call of the woods and the deep shady 

 lanes. When Mr. Heath tells you, in his exquisite manner, about the 

 green places of earth, he compels you to them almost as irresistibly as 

 they draw you themselves on a May morning. I know of no one whose 

 knowledge of foliage is richer than his." Daily Mail, May 19, 1911.
