THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF PLANT PORTRAITS - Hellyer, A. G. L. - ILLUSTRATIONS OF cultivated plants, showing in alphabetical sequence portraits of hardy and half-hardy plants, tree and shrubs, orchids, ferns, hothouse and greenhouse plants, etc., with a short descriplion of each, For ease of reference there is an Index of common and catalogue names - Editor of Amateur Gardening and never remember the names of plants. Show me a picture and I will tell you whether it is the one I mean. How often I have heard that request or something like it. The demand fbr a picture book of garden flowers is very widespread and very real, and it is for these reasons I have prepared the present volume. Though it contains over Iooo individual portraits, it cannot possibly show all the ornamental plants that rnay be found in gardens, for a modest estimate puts these at more than twenty times that number, without allowing for the vast numbers of varieties of popular plants, such as roses, dahlias and chrysanthemums. What I have tried to do therefore, is to give as representative a selection as possible so that, even though the particular species for which search is being made cannot be found, another similar plant of the same genus will assist the reader in making an identification. Though Plant Portraits is primarily intended as a companion volume to Sanders Encyclopaedia of Gardening, in which all these plants and many more are described, and which gives detailed particulars of their cultivation, nevertheless it can be used as a reference book by itself if so desired. Beneath each picture sufficient information is given to enable the reader to know the colour and height of the plant, its time of flowering and the class to which it belongs i.e. annual...................

In this book, the subject of Copper Work as it may be introduced into the public school, is treated to the extent of specifying an equipment and suggesting some of the possibilities of a course. Not only will there be found an abundance of illustrative material on this subject, consisting of drawings and photographs of various objects executed, by upper grammar and high school pupils but also a detailed description of the processes necessary for the execution of many of the designs. It is hoped that this volume will be especially helpful to teachers in the manual arts who are trying to introduce Metal work into the regular school course. Much of the information contained within this early work will still be found useful and practical today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

Glenny's Illustrated Garden Forget-Me-Not - Containing Notes on Men and Things Comprising Gardeners, Books, Plants, Fruits, Machines, Implements, ... Original Papers and Miscellaneous Articles

Glenny, George

This early work by G. K. Chesterton was originally published in 1915. Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London in 1874. He studied at the Slade School of Art, and upon graduating began to work as a freelance journalist. Over the course of his life, his literary output was incredibly diverse and highly prolific, ranging from philosophy and ontology to art criticism and detective fiction. However, he is probably best-remembered for his Christian apologetics, most notably in Orthodoxy (1908) and The Everlasting Man (1925). We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

" IN THE CONSTANT OSCILLATION OP THE HUMAN HIND BETWEEN IDEAS AND FACTS, AFTER HAVING FOR A MOMENT TOUCHED THE LATTER, IT SEEMS TO SWING BACK MORE IMPETUOUSLY TO THE Former."--Whewell. We pass from the examination of the very minute and of the far-extended, to the common facts of our dailj observation; gladly throwing down the telescope and microscope, we will look with the naked eye at nature in the ordinary range of vision. Were we to select one class of facts to illustrate the ideas we present, and to disprove the attraction of matter, it would be that which relates to oscillatory motion, --the action of the pendulum and kindred movements. The swing of a pendulum, increasing in velocity in proportion to the decrease of distance from the centre of oscillation, the force of its motion being measurable by the area of the circle of which it describes a segment, shows that the nature of force is the same, however its energies may operate. It brings to the mind the relative speed of the planets, increasing as the diameter of their orbits diminishes. Its regular beats mark time with the same precision as does the harmonic motion of the heavenly bodies. It is, therefore, a free, unrestrained movement, showing the laws of force, and had it been rightly understood, the laws which regulate the planetary movements might have been distinctly inferred from it. " We feel," says Bailly, in his History of Astronomy, " that nature is very simple in her operations; the positions and motions of the planets offer at first sight the appearance of intricacy, but the principle which impels them has a naturalness and simplicity like the character of truth;" and this principle has application not only to them, but to all natural and unrestrained motion. Thus in the pend...
