Herb Garden
by Helen Lyman
"Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which
is upon the face of the earth." -- Genesis 1:30
Helen Lyman presents the history of plants and herbs in a most
interesting way. The names of these herbs appear, over and over
again, in myths and legends, and as you read this book you will
find that they are a cure-all, not only for the ills of the body,
but for the mind and heart as well.
This concise book aims to put before the reader in a very lucid
language, the simplest way to start and cultivate a herb garden
and to acquaint them as precisely as possible with the pleasure
of the procedure.
The book opens with a short history of the use of herbs in different
parts of the world. The the author gives a working list of 30
basic herbs with information on the use of each and then a chapter
with detailed instructions on setting up a herb garden. This
is followed by a short digression of herbs in the plays of Shakespeare.
Finally a sample meal menu using the 30 herbs recommended is
given.
This small classic was originally published in the US in 1934
under the title 30 Herbs Will Make an Herb Garden. It
has been out-of-print for many years and -- until this Pilgrims
reprint edition -- has been very difficult to obtain.

An Overview of Nepalese Paper Money
by Jaya Hari Jha together with Deepak Raj Pandey & Bineet
Chandra Jha
Although the history of paper currency in Nepal is not very long,
it is certainly most rewarding for readers to explore the different
varieties, sizes and colours of the various denominations of
Nepalese paper notes which have been issued from time to time.
This is the first book ever to be published on the subject of
Nepalese paper currency. It gives full details, background information
and profuse illustrations on all Nepalese notes, both the commonly
seen ones and the rareties. It is the result of 16 years' research
by the authors.
The volume will be welcomed by general readers, coin and note
collectors and all those interested in the history of banknote
circulation.
Paperback. Colour & B&W photographs. Tables.
