Poet Laureate. 

 Extra Crown 8vo. Price 9^. 



In Veronica's Garden. Illustrated. 



1HE tlMES.— 'Mr. Austin blends in a very delightful fashion his love of 

 flowers and of simple rural delights with his love of gentle thoughts and gracious 

 converse." 



THE SPEAKER.— "We have only to add that the book is beautifully got up, 

 with paper and print all that can be wished, and with many plates of the scenery 

 of the garden, which are certainly some of the prettiest garden scenes that we 

 have seen." 



THE vi^HEN^VM.— "There is much to please in the book; a delicate and . 

 graceful humour, no less than a whole-hearted enthusiasm for the witchery of 

 summer and of spring. And the frequent verses which Mr. Austin puts into the 

 mouth of the poet surely showhim at his best."

The Garden that I love. Fourth Edition. 



Illustrated. 



^HE TIMES. — "It is a description in lucid and graceful prose of an old- 

 fashioned garden and its cultivation, interspersed with genial colloquies between 

 its owners and their guests, and enriched with occasional verse. Mr. Austin, 

 who is greatly to be envied the possession of this delightful garden, and not less 

 to be congratulated on his sympathetic appreciation of its charms, has rarely 

 been so happily inspired." 



.1HE.GVARDIAN.—" ' The Garden that I love," ... is the work of a poet, artist 

 and gardener, who havii>g had the great luck to meet with an ideal house, 

 surrounded it with an ideal garden." 



THE SAtURDAY REVIEW.—" In this sunshiny book with the Tennysonir t 

 title Mr. Alfred Austin makes a, charming addition to the literature of \ • 

 English garden. Not wholly of the garden and of gardening is the por. 

 discourse, not wholly descriptive of the gardener's aims, his hopes and fear 

 joys. In part it treats of the designer's projects and handiwork ; and in ; 

 is a poetic descant on the work not made with hands — the glories, the si:, 

 the magic of nature, that reward the single-hearted love of the gardei- 

 a prodigal show of delights, ever varied and new. From both poin,ji,| "^ ;- 

 Mr. Austin's volume is delightful." .,,,;,. ^^

THE St. JAMES'S GAZETTE.— "From the poetical ' I nvocE*' r addressei.' 

 to the Queen, with which the book begins, to the lyric 'Gr 'ght,' witl. 

 which it ends, the volume is charming."

LITERATURE.-" Gems of verse." 



THE LEEDS MERCURY.—" Full of fascinating Nature-pictures." 



THE DAILY TELEGRAfH.-" Lamia is as charming as ever. . . . These 

 delightfulpages." 



THE STANDARD.—" Exquisite simplicity." 



THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW.-" h most exquisite book. We prefer it 

 even to ' The Garden that I love." Some of the lyrics bear comparison with 

 the best lyrical productions of Wordsworth, Tennyson, or Browning." 



THE LITERARY frOJ^iD.—" The third number of a delightful series. Neither 

 in 'The Garden that I love' nor in 'Veronica's Garden' was Mr. Austin better 

 inspired.'
