Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

There is one quality of the Oriental Poppies which is very palpable to me. They have often been called insolent--Browning writes of the " Poppy's red affrontery "; to me the Poppy has an angry look. It is wonderfully haughty too, and its seed-pod seems like an emblem of its rank.
