The Blessed Damozel. — Rossetti's poem is here reprinted with elaborate patterns

by W. B. Macdougall, and an introduction by W. M. Rossetti (Duckworth and Co.) The patterns of fruits and flowers covering the page and enclosing a verse of the poem are very black and white, and in the style originated by the late Aubrey Beardsley. " Most can raise the flower now, for all have got the seed."
