ROS ROSARUM EX. 
THE DEW OF THE EYER-LIYING ROSE GATHERED FROM THE POETS’ 
GARDENS OF MANY LANDS, 
By E.Y.B. 
“ A very dainiy-Iooking volume is ‘ Roi-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 Work. 
“ Lovers of roses will find much to entertain them in the tasty little volume. It contains 
extracts from the poets of all nations and all times on the subject of roses, and the passions 
and fancies that the poets have associated with them. It is a rich and delicate assemblage.” 
— .Amateur Gardening. 
“So winning is ‘ E. V. B.’s’ ‘Epistle to the Reader,’ so gentle and insidious in its 
caressing archaism, that the critic is practically disarmed .” — Saturday Review.
