A book full of suggestion to people who make their gardens out-door living rooms. Points of comfort and beauty are adapted to the individuality of the maker and the character of the corner to be developed and adorned. Heavy plate paper and some charming illustrations add attractiveness to the instruction of the text.
“So far as it goes, it is practical and carries many hints of first-rate importance, but it aims rather to open the subject intelligently than to publish directions.”
“To one who is interested in gardens this work will be found to contain many suggestions of value.”
“Is full of suggestion for rendering the garden more homelike, more livable, and more picturesque by the appropriate addition of accessories.”

“The personality of Napoleon is as fascinating to the present generation as it has been to any since his death. And no part of his life is more fascinating than the story of his adversity. The two books before us, of very unequal value, illustrate this period of his career. The first contains the journal of his voyage to Elba, and of his slow progress to his prison-island, the other gives the history of his reign at Elba.”—Sat. R.
“It is annotated, illustrated, indexed and confessed—if the word may serve us—in a manner which disarms criticism.”
“The notes are not abundant but are pithy and to the point. By what seems an excess of conscientious editorship Mr. Rose has translated back into what he surmises to have been Napoleon’s actual words the language attributed to him by the diarists.” J. W. T.
“Dr. Rose’s introduction is of no particular importance, but several of the illustrations are new and interesting.”
“These documents are historically valuable, because they were written without partisan bias, or the desire to prove anything.”
“Dr. Rose will not enhance his reputation by his editing of this volume. His notes consist mainly of pen-knife digs at the hero of the narrative, and in the emphatic denial of everything asserted by Napoleon in the slightest degree favourable to himself.”
