for information concerning this unique collection. Revised and considerably 
_ tttended, it is now reprinted, with a poetic (?) introduction. Fulsome praise 
: - with the description of the inception and execution of the work, 
of 
“The home at Hosterwitz, 
Where a lonely artist sits.” 
The author warmly congratulates Harvard University on being “the fortunate 
mssessor of the only collection of these exquisite creations now in exist- 
sce, and about them he sings: 
“The varying seasons bring 
No change to this blossoming : 
The spring never ends for these 
Enduring anemones ; 
The summer’s reign never closes 
For these perennial roses: 
The autumn’s horn never holds 
Even one of these marigolds ; 
And the winter never comes 
To these bright chrysanthemums.” :
