Excerpt from Rambles on the Riviera It is not the purpose of this second preface to make known the frame of mind in which I wrote, but rather to explain the alteration and expansion of the present volume. The reader will be immediately struck by the numerous botanical illustrations which have been introduced into the text. These, it is hoped, will be found a great assistance to the com prehension of the plants which are described. Many of those interested in these Rambles on the Riviera had expressed a wish that the volume should be thus illustrated. It is a matter of congratulation to me that Miss Louise Reusch has devoted herself to this task. She has travelled on the Riviera, and there, on the spot, she has painted from Nature the pictures for this book. The beauty of these paintings proves her to be an accomplished artist; they are not only artistic, but are absolutely true to Nature. To her brush are also due the appropriate vignettes which mark the main divisions of the book. It reflects much credit on the publisher that he was willing to go to such great expense for an undertaking with which he sym pathised; he has indeed placed me under a great obligation.
