"A treatise which will be welcomed by all lovers of gardens and of literature ... for the scholarly fragrance distilled by every chapter of a volume that may be worthily enshrined among the classics of gardening literature."--GEORGE H. ELLWANGER in the _Book Buyer_. =SUN-DIALS AND ROSES OF YESTERDAY= Garden delights which are here displayed in very truth and are moreover regarded as emblems. Profusely illustrated. =8vo. Cloth. $2.00, net= =HOME LIFE IN COLONIAL DAYS= Illustrated by photographs, gathered by the author, of real things, works, and happenings of olden times. =8vo. Cloth. $2.50= "The work is mainly and essentially an antiquarian account of the tools, implements, and utensils, as well as the processes of colonial domestic industry; and it is full enough to serve as a moderate encyclopædia in that kind.... This useful and attractive book, with its profuse and interesting pictures, its fair typography, and its quaint binding, imitative of an old-time sampler, should prove a favorite."--_The Dial._ "Mrs. Earle has made a very careful study of the details of domestic life from the earliest days of the settlement of the country. The book is sumptuously illustrated, and every famed article, such as the spinning-wheel, the foot-stone, the brass knocker on the door, and the old-time cider-mill, is here presented to the eye and faithfully pictured in words. The volume is a fascinating one, and the vast army of admirers and students of the olden days will be grateful to the author for gathering together and putting into permanent form so much accurate information concerning the homes of our ancestors."--_Education._ =CHILD LIFE IN COLONIAL DAYS= With many illustrations from photographs. =8vo. Cloth. $2.50= "The whole work presents a complete and graphic picture of colonial childhood, that cannot but form a valuable supplementary study for students of American history. At the same time it has much general interest, for child life of any period is interesting, but the interest is doubled when it concerns the formative influences of American ancestry."--_New York Times._ "From the scant records of colonial days Mrs. Earle has been enabled to make up a volume that is full of life and variety, and that gives an insight into the beauty and tenderness of family life even under the austere conditions of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The portraits of children form a gallery as rare as it is beautiful."--_New York Herald._ THE MACMILLAN COMPANY =66 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK= * * * * * Transcriber's note: Minor typographical errors have been corrected without note.
