terse but adequate descriptions Of some forty
or fifty villas. blending history and technical
analysis. He is strong matters Of design, Of
practicality and he has carried his useful pro-
fessiOnalism into the treatment Of his illustra-
tions. Many Of these consist OF carefully drawn
plans and sections, so that the builder Of a

Mr Triggs does one excellent thing in exhibit

younger. The Romans ever delighted in the
charms of the garden. Mr.. Triggs tells us that
among their more respected slaves were those
to whom the tOpiary work on their estates was
intrusted. And how vast those estates were!
The imagination is touched by the scale on
which those naughty aristOcrats laid out their
rural domains, and it was not in the country
alone that they built themselves gardens In
Rome itself the luxury was familiar, how IA
miliar may be gathered from this passage:
According to Professor Lancani. no modern capi-
tai can be compared with ancient Rome for the
number of public parks and gardens. While the
nine larger parks of London, with aggregate
surface thousand acres represent the thirty
ninth portion of the city area. those of ancient
Rome. extending over the chain OF hills on either
side of the Tiber represent One-eighth portion In
the restricted areas of the less pretentOus town
gardens every square yard of available space was
turned to good account. SOlaria, terraces, balco-
nes and roof gardens helped to satisfy the desire
for fresh air, and were frequently built sitting
out places. When the space admitted. they were
laid out with beds of flowers and towering shrubs
or even fruit trees. The parapet wall sometimes
supported stone columns piers with the pergOla

The late Richard Garnett was useful rather
than n brilliant man Of letters. His best work
was done in the field Of modest careful scholar
ship. He had his lighter interests, as was
shown by the clever book, "The Twilight of the
Gods" which he published only few years ago,
and just on the eve of his death he brought out
n new edition of "De FlagellO MyrteO," col
lection of delcately conceived and gracefully
expressed Thoughts and FancieS on Love-"
But his admirers are mistaken in seeking to
attach special Importance to what they regard
as his creative work." and it seems a pity
that not enough is made of what is, after all,
the finest thing in the career of man like DR..
Garnett. He did the work that came to his
hand in everyday life, and did it well. Is this
not enough to win honor for a mans memory? f?
We like the tribute paid to Garnett in "NOtes
and Queries" with reference to his official ac-
tiVities at the British Museum. 'In his hands, -
we are told, "the management of the reading
room became almost ideal. No chill Journalism
depressed the applicant; the request was
granted with a gracOusness that enhanced
its value" 1t is pleasant to remember that DR..
Ganett wrote a number of useful books, and
was, in fact an accomplished man of letters.
But IL is even pleasanter to recall that he took
as much pains in discharging the routine duties
Of q servant Of the public, and thereby set an
example more precious than that of any author
