IN A YORKSHIRE GARDEN. 



By REGINALD FARRER, 



AUTHOR OF 'Mv ROCK -GARDEN,' 'ALPINES AND BOG PLANTS,' ETC. 



With Illustrations. Demy 8vo., cloth. los. 6d. net. 



In his latest book on the garden, Mr. Farrer will delight his many 

 readers by conveying them round all his own provinces, with 

 accounts of this plant and that as he goes. Though less technical 

 and severe than ' My Rock- Garden,' his new book will be found more 

 practical and helpful than ' Alpines and Bog Plants,' in so far as it 

 deals with the garden as it is, its ups and downs and difficulties as 

 they lie before us, rather than with any purely abstract and visionary 

 ideal of bog-garden or mountain-slope. In especial, will those who 

 have long waited for help on the subject be delighted to hear that 

 Mr. Farrer has at last dealt exhaustively and practically with the 

 Moraine Garden ; nor, though rock-plants are, of course, Mr. Farrer's 

 particular friends, has he neglected other parts of the garden, but has 

 many words to say on shrubs, and herbaceous treasures, and 

 bamboos, and the wild garden. Let the names of a few chapters 

 give a hint of the rest : The Old Garden ; The Piz Languard and 

 the Piz Padella ; Among the Primulas ; The Old Moraine ; Round 

 the Frames ; The Cliff-garden ; The Terrace-wall ; Alice's Garden 

 in the Wood. 



A HANDBOOK OF 

 ENGLISH LITERATURE. 



By C. E. BAINES. 



Cvown 8vo. t cloth. 



This volume covers the entire period of the history of our 

 literature down to the close of the Victorian Age, with the deaths of 

 Swinburne and Meredith but the period before Chaucer is only 

 briefly dealt with. Special care has been taken that, while the book 

 contains all the names, dates, etc., that a text-book should contain, 

 it should be as little cumbered as possible with the names of writers 

 who ' deserve a passing mention.' Occasionally a typical author or 

 work is dealt with at some length, even though this involves a 

 sacrifice of proportion. This seems, on the whole, the best way, in 

 a short book, to give the reader a general idea of any particular 

 period without employing undesirably vague generalities.
