Description

Light wear. Solid hardcover.; Massive and well-illustrated work, primarily on Sun Dials, giving history, construction, design, existing and historic locations, etc, along with about 70 pages on Roses. ""The union of the subject of Roses with that of sun-dials has not been through any relation of one to the other, but simply a placing together of two ""garden delights,"" - to use Bacon's term, - and with somewhat of the thought that a dial standing alone in a garden was a bit bare without flowers, so it was likewise in a book."" - Foreword. ; xxiii, 461 pages
