ROS ROSARUM EX. 
THE DEW OF THE EVER-LIVING ROSE GATHERED FROM THE POETS’ 
GARDENS OF MANY LANDS, 
By E.Y.B. 
“ A very dainty-looking volume is ‘ Ros Rosarum,’ and the illustrations from the pencil 
of its well-known compiler enhance such pleasure as it might otherwise give.” — Graphic. 
' “The poems have been chosen and arranged most judiciously, and the book should form 
*, a welcome addition to the literature of flowers .” — Garden fVorh. 
1 “ Lovers of roses will find much to entertain them in the tasty little volume. It contains 
f extracts from the poets of all nations and all times on the subject of roses, and the passions 
J. and fancies that the poets have associated with them. It is a rich and delicate assemblage.” 
V — Amateur Gardening. 
. 
f “So winning is ‘ E. V. B.’s’ ‘Epistle to the Reader,’ so gentle and insidious in its 
f caressing archaism, that the critic is practically disarmed .” — Saturday Review.
