A POPULAR HANDBOOK 



OF 



INDIAN FERNS 



By COLONEL R. H. BEDDOME, 



AUTHOR OF THE "FERNS OF BRITISH INDIA," "THE FERNS OF SOUTHERN INDIA," 



THREE HUNDRED ILLUSTRATIONS BY THE AUTHOR. 



REVIEWS. 



" It is the first special book of portable size and moderate price which has been 

 devoted to Indian Ferns, and is in every way deserving of the extensive circulation 

 it is sure to obtain." — Na/we. 



"I have just seen a new work on Indian Ferns which will prove vastly interesting, 

 not only to the Indian people, but to the botanists of this country." — Indian Daily 

 News. 



" ' The Ferns of India.' This is a good book, being of a useful and trustworthy 

 character. The species are familiarly described, and most of them illustrated by 

 small figures." — Gardeners' Chronicle. 



" Those interested in botany will do well to procure a new work on the ' Ferns 

 of British India.' The work will prove a first-class text book." — Free Press. 



" The great amount of care observed in its compilation makes it a most valuable 

 work of reference, especially to non-scientific readers, for in preparing it as many of 

 the technicalities as could be safely dispensed with have been left aside. This excellent 

 book, which is intended to meet a want that has long and acutely been felt by all 

 lovers of ferns, will be all the more welcome coming, as it does, from an author 

 whose thorough knowledge of the subject is already well known through his former 

 works." — Garden.

INDIAN LYRICS. 



By W. TREGO-WEBB, M.A., 



Professor of English Literature, Presidency College. 



REVIEWS. 



"A volume of varied and graceful verse which, while appealing to the sympathies and experiences of all Anglo-Indians, 

 will not be without its value as illustrating for English people at home the various phases of an Indian sojourn."— Englishman. 



" He presents the various sorts and conditions of humanity that comprise the round of life in Bengal in a series of vivid 

 vignettes. . . . He writes with scholarly directness and finish."— Saturday Review. 



"A pleasant book to read."— Suffolk Chronicle. 



"The style is pretty pleasant, and the verses run smooth and melodious."— Indian Mail. 



" One of the main objects of the author is to throw some fresh light on Indian things for English readers, and we are 

 happy in being able to introduce him in this way to our readers. This is a pleasant book to read. The verse is mostly 

 strong and vigorous ; a quiet humour sparkles on the page : few pieces are long, and the subjects are varied. The reader 

 may trip from piece to piece, ever finding something which will interest him."— Suffolk Chronicle.
