" We commend Miss Coxhead's Garden Fancies 

 as a very pleasant anthology and also a piece of 

 work which has meant more than indolent com- 

 pilation from obvious sources. Many of the 

 expected things are here, but half are unexpected 

 and as welcome." Morning Post. 



" In Garden Fancies Miss Mary Coxhead has 

 brought together a great variety of selections, 

 ranging over many centuries, of prose and poetry 

 in praise of the garden, of fruit and flowers, and 

 of those who cultivate them. The volume will 

 afford pleasure to alljvho take a delight in gar- 

 dens.' ' Scotsman. 



" An anthology of prose and verse, arranged 

 in sections, as thus : ' Laying Out the Garden,' 

 * Flower Gardens,' ' Fruit and Flowers,' and 

 ' Gardeners.' Many of the quotations come from 

 remote and unexpected authors, and the selection 

 has been most carefully done. The volume 

 makes a very acceptable one in the firm's ' Pocket- 

 Book Series,' and the tasteful cover of cloth and 

 boards makes it a bargain at a shilling." Pall 

 Mall Gazette. 



" Presents some of the best passages from 

 writings on the garden, its pleasures and trials, 

 that we have seen. Some might object at times 

 to the length of the extracts, but we are not 

 inclined to quarrel with the collection on that 

 score, seeing how wide is the ground covered, 

 how skilful and appreciative are the selections. 

 The astonishing cheapness of this volume, as 

 well as its intrinsic merits, will commend it to 

 a large circle of readers." Guardian.
