Year after year advances will be made in science; and in reading that Book of Nature that lies ever open before our eyes, successive stones will be brought for building up that Temple of Knowledge of which our fathers and we have laboured to lay the foundations.

LONDON, 15 Piccadilly, September, 1897. The Honorable Alicia Amherst's History OF GARDENING IN ENGLAND, in one volume royal 8vo. xiv and 404 pp. A New Edition. With 67 Illustrations of Old English Gardens and a revised text, extra cloth, cash 188 The First Edition was sold within two months of its publication, and many were the disappointments of unsuccessful would-be buyers. "A remarkable ceremony was performed at the meeting of the Worshipful Company of Gardeners,' on Thursday last, in the Grafton Gallery, in the bestowal of the freedom of the guild upon a young lady. The statement might seem curious were it not that the young lady was Miss Alicia Amherst, daughter of Lord Amherst of Hackney, whose new book on the History of Gardening in England has won for her celebrity as the chief authority on the subject. Even as to the records of the Company itself, Miss Amherst probably knew a great deal more than any of the officers who called the meeting in her honour. At least, they will admit that much of their early history (in the time of James I) was made clearer to them by her book, which has indeed achieved a success so sudden and so great (considering the nature of its subject) as to assume it a permanent place in English literature."-The World.
