THE SENTIMENT OF FLOWERS,
WITH TWELVE GROUPS OF FLOWERS, TASTEFULLY DESIGNED AND COLOURED.
" In Eastern lands they talk in flowers.
And they tell in a garland their loves and cares ;
Each blossom that blooms in their garden bowers,
On its leaves a mystic language bears."
This work teaches the eloquent language referred to in the above beautiful liues. As in the East, so in the fair island of Britain, " flowers are here made to speak the language of sentiment."
"This is a charming little book. Engravings of groups of the most beloved, the most popular, and the most poetical are very neatly and accurately coloured, and interspersed with fanciful and elegant descriptions and analogies, illustrated by quotations from the wide range of English poetry, and from whatever has been most gracefully and fondly said of those darlings of nature."— Taits Mag.
" One of the prettiest little books we have seen. It contains twelve coloured engravings, a neatly told biography, if we may use the term, of each flower— all the graceful anecdotes connected with them, and some very beautiful and appropriate poetical quotations. It teaches too
'All that token flowers can tell,
What words can never speak so well,'
" Well, if we were a young lady, we would neither write nor receive a billet-doux, save in the shape of a bouquet."—Court Journal.
