[*] Austin, Alfred (Lamia, pseud.). Garden that I love. [*]$2. Macmillan.
A new edition of the poet laureate’s sketches and poetical essays first published ten years ago. “This is an illustrated edition, the pictures being reproductions in colour of work by Mr. George S.

[*] “The color designs of George S. Elgood, R. I., are quite out of the common—exquisite, indeed; and in the end the purchaser may prefer them to the touch-and-go discursiveness of the text.”
