The chapters on old furniture and on the old
cottage gardens are delightful both in text and
illustration Much of the beauty of rural Eng
land has always been due to the love OF flowers
felt by the majority Of the working people. The
old-fashioned plants and vines grow in their
gardens with marvellous luxuriance, and ad-
nirable taste is generally shown in the ar
rangement Of them. 4 mournful deterioration
in the appearance of the beautiful old English
churchyard is mentioned by Miss Jekyll. Cheap
and vulgar decorations from the ironmonger
and artificial wreaths are taking the places of
the dignifed grave boards which have helped to
give an air Of peace and quiet beauty to the
churchyard Of the ancient time The concluding
chapter deals with the Surrey haunts OF SNUG
glers and gives some amusing details of the
industry" They had many hiding places on
the downs, and when country neighbor came
upon one Of these lairs he never thought of
betrayal; he merely marked with chalk a small
proportion Of the number of articles. These
marked kegs, the price of silence, were always
left for him when the smugglers collected their
property. Here is Miss JekyIIs last story:

When rer edition OF EmeTson's works was
PROJECTED .Ith view COMMUNICATING in this
admirable fashion the hundredth anniversary Of
his birth, the task Of preparing the volumes was
offered TO his old friend and literary executor
Mr.. James Elliot Cabot who had put the well
known Riverside edition into shape. He, how
ever, felt unable to take the matter mp so the
work was assumed by Mr.. Edward Waldo Emer-
son. That gentleman was deprived by the death
Of MI. Cabot last year OF invaluable advice
which he might have enjoyed, but he has proved
himself, nevertheless, altogether adequate
editor. In this Centenary edition the familiar
prose and verse viii I'll, we gather, twelve vol
umes. Two three viii be added en-
bo6ying new matter. Throughout the series the
editor supplies copious notes. and these while
sometimes a little too long, Mr.. Emerson
himself admits IN his preface. are, on the whole
so useful that We cannot regret the space they
occupy at the back Of each volume. In every
