state that this is a sister book to 
“Wood and Garden,” which appeared about

the last named book, by the reading public, 
encouraged the author to put into readable 
form some more of her notes and reflections

evidently greatly enjoys. It may be noted 
that the penalties of being a popular author 
have not failed to find out Miss Jekyll, and 
invade her quite country home, as in the

no great reserve of strength, she begs that 
she may enjoy a “ larger measure of peace 
and privacy.” We consider that it would be 
to the public advantage to leave the worker 
at her work. Like all true lovers of Nature 
Miss Jekyll, not only likes to see a natural
