SOME PRESS OPINIONS. 
“ Mr. Francis George Heath is the accomplished author of so many fascinating landscape 
studies.” — Times. 
“ Mr. Heath’s books arc especially delightful.”- — The A uthor o f “ Lorna Doone.” 
“ Mr. Francis George Heath is a writer than whom no man has done more to promote 
an intelligent appreciation of our native scenery of the softer kind. His language is poetic, 
his colouring fresh. He leads us out into cool shady nooks and ‘ pleasant places,’ redolent 
of enjoyment to men of pure thought and poetic fancies.” — Morning Tost. 
“ Mr. Heath’s descriptions are exquisitely beautiful.” — St. James’s Gazette. 
“ Mr. Heath brings to his work the ardour of an enthusiast and the temperament of a 
poet : no more delightful teacher could be found.” — Fountain, 
“Mr. Heath is well known as an enthusiastic lover of nature, who has done much to 
popularize the intelligent appreciation of woodland beauty. He has interested a large 
number of people by his books.” — Spectator. 
“The ivy seems to cling round his heart, and the sweet-scented honeysuckle to twine its 
branches round his imagination. He writes, tis it were, in a bower of wild flowers, and the 
sweet scents of the forest and the meadow hover, with balmy freshness, round his pen.” — 
Popular Science Review. 
“ Everybody knows Mr. Heath’s fascinating books.” — Pall Mall Gazette. 
“Mr. Heath has thrown around his subjects not only the light of science, but the charm 
of enthusiasm and poetry. He writes with zest; there is an open-air feeling about his 
pages, and that is exactly what is wanted in these days to attract people to find in nature 
some subject of joy that may make the sordid life in towns tolerable.” — British Quarterly 
“Mr. Heath is a charming and graphic word painter.” — Grant Allen. [Review. 
“He writes for the million. Amongst those who have most persistently striven of late 
years to improve the health of crowded towns, and to create in the hearts of street-bound 
artisans a wholesome instinct for country air, may be justly ranked the author of “ The 
Fern Paradise.” Always alive to any movement having for its object the encouragement 
of window gardening and the embellishment of waste spaces, no writer lias done more 
towards stimulating that passion for sylvan holidays and recreation in the ferny combe or 
under the greenwood tree which an American tssayist has pronounced to be inherent in 
English folk Mr. Heath has earned for himself a place amongst philanthropists.” — 
“ He is an able and accomplished editor.”— Standard. [Saturday Review. 
“ Lovers of nature and philanthropists alike owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Heath. He 
has striven, and with no small success, to create and foster a popular taste for that which is 
not otdy beautiful in nature, but which is calculated to promote the health and happiness 
of the people It is a noble ideal which he lias set up for realization — a grand concep- 
tion which we hope to see in the full fruition of acci mplishment ’’—Daily Chronicle. 
“ There is at the core of all Mr. Heath’s work some idea of good to be achieved for his 
unfortunate fellow-creatures.” — Lloyd’s Newspaper. 
“ Mr. Heath’s numerous works all prove that he has been a close and diligent student of 
the scenes and objects he describes with such a true and tender care.” — Guardian. 
“ Mr. Heath’s writings on the poetry of forest and field are fascinating in the highest 
degree.” — Queen. 
“No author of the present generation has gone more deeply into the study of foliage 
than he, or thought and written so constantly and so well upon this and kindred subjects.” 
— Ih i rpe r's M ana x ine. 
“ Mr. Heath has now passed from the tender blooms of spring to the sunset-dyed glories 
of autumn, but wo recognize in the book before us (‘Autumnal Leaves’) the mind of long 
ago. There is the same tender regard for all that in nature lives ; the same keen insight for 
revealing wonders unseen by the casual passer by ; the same power of holding his reader's 
deepest attention ; and the same gift of adorning each subject to which he setshishand.” —
