BY JOHN TIMBS, F.S.A. CONTENTS: Memorable Days of the Year; its Fasts and Festivals and Picturesque Events.—Recollections of Brambletye.—Domestic Arts and Customs.—Glories of a Garden.—Early Gardeners.—Bacon, Evelyn, and Temple.—A Day at Hatfield.—London Gardens.—Pope at Twickenham.—Celebrated Gardens.—Curiosities of Bees, &c. CRITICAL OPINIONS. "This volume is likely to meet with as good a reception as any of its predecessors, for no one can open it without finding something in it that is at once amusing and instructive. All the information which it contains is modestly and pleasantly given.... It will be seen that this volume abounds with diverting and suggestive extracts. It seems to us particularly well adapted for parochial lending-libraries."—_Saturday Review._ "Full of odd, quaint, out-of-the-way bits of information upon all imaginable subjects is this amusing volume, wherein Mr. Timbs discourses upon domestic, rural, metropolitan, and social life; interesting nooks of English localities; time-honoured customs, and old-world observances; and, we need hardly add, Mr. Timbs discourses well and pleasantly upon all."—_Notes and Queries._ "This is another of those curious repertories of out-of-the-way facts, to the compilation of which Mr. Timbs appears to have a prescriptive right. The reader must be at once very well-informed and very difficult to please who fails to find in _Something for Everybody_ ample materials both for instruction and amusement."—_Spectator._ "A collection made by a diligent scholar in a long life of literature, and imparting information in such a manner as to be pleasing to the young and welcome to the old. Mr. Timbs has published many good books, but none better or more deserving of popularity than that to which he has given the appropriate title of _Something for Everybody_."—_London Review._
