14 SEPTEMBER 1929, Page 19

The second part of Mr. Spencer Savage's translation of the

hlortus Floridus, by Crispin de Pass, has now been issued (Cresset Press, 30s.). There is no need to recommend this beautiful volume, reproduced in script lettering with all the original engravings of the 1614 edition. Those who possess the first part, descriptive of spring flowers, will be anxious to complete the year with summer, autumn, and winter.
