•‘Ye Narcissus or Daffodyl” consists of 48 pages, and is fully illustrated 
containing two portraits of John Parkinson, a celebrated herbalist, and a “ worthie lover 
of faire flowere,” who published his fine old folio containing a monograph of all the then 
known Narcissi in the year 1629. 
“ Ye Narcissus or Daffodyl ” contains also many characteristic sketches and wood 
engravings of the different sections and species of Narcissus, and a complete list of all 
known kinds, including those known to Turner (a.d. 1548), Lobel (a.d. 1570), Clusius 
(a.d. 1576), Gerard (a.d. 1596), Parkinson (a.d. 1629 56), Hale’s “Eden” (A.D. 1756), 
Haworth (a.d. 1830), Herbert (a.d. 1837), Baker (a.d. 1869), Burbidge (1875), and 
other authors who have from time to time written of these favourite flowers of spring. 
“Ye Narcissus or Daffodyl,” 'as a work for future reference, will prove extremely 
useful even to advanced students of the Narcissus. Being of exactly the same size as 
Burbidge’s “ Narcissus,” it maybe bound up along with that volume as a useful appendix. 
On its own merits it is, however, most complete and trustworthy ; indeed, it is one of the 
most practical of all the results of the highly successful “Daffodil Congress” held at 
South Kensington on April 1st, 1884.
