PEACHEY'S
ROYAL GUIDE
TO
WAX FLOWER MODELLING.

"God might have made the earth bring forth
Enough for great and small,
The oak tree and the cedar tree
Without a flower at all.

"Then wherefore, wherefore, were they made?
* * * * * *

"To comfort man--to whisper hope,
Whene'er his faith is dim;
For whoso careth for the flowers
Will much more care for HIM."

MRS. PEACHEY being, for the reasons stated in this work, compelled to
circumscribe the giving of lessons, if not to discontinue instructions
altogether in a few months, the book will, therefore, under any
circumstances, be indispensable.

THE
ROYAL GUIDE
TO
WAX FLOWER MODELLING.

BY
MRS. PEACHEY,
Artiste to Her Majesty.

"For _not alone_ to please the sense of _smell_,
Or charm the sight, are flowers to mankind given,--
A thousand sanctities do them invest,
And bright associations hallow them!
Which to the cultivated intellect
May give delight, and all the heart improve."
