“ Mr. Shirley Hibberd has performed an acceptable task in laying before the 
public, in this pretty volume, the results of his experience. The writer evidently 
found his task a pleasant one, and he has executed it pleasantly. He descants 
on the characteristics of the plant, the uses to which it may be put, and gives a 
long descriptive catalogue of the several varieties. Numerous illustrations are 
given which appear to us to be very faithful representations.” — Athenceum. 
“ In the charmingly attractive and lavishly, as well as beautifully illustrated, 
book before us, the subject has been so dealt with as to be exhausted. Every- 
thing that we desire to know, all indeed, that we can know, concerning the ivy, 
has been supplied to us by a most conscientious and intelligent guide. The best 
authorities are quoted ; science and art have been valuable contributors ; the aid 
of a hundred poets is evoked ; and the result is one of the most pleasant and in- 
structive books of the season.” — Art Jozirnal.
