An excerpt:

"Flowers have a soul in every leaf."

"Flowers are the fairest objects of Creation, and this would be a wilderness world indeed without them: they form the theme of the poet's sweetest strains, and on them painters have lavished all their skill. In many countries they are regarded with superstitious reverence...But flowers are tender things, and, with their sweet perfumes, soon fade away; cold winter comes and nips them up, but still we can preserve their image: this, to the lover of flowers, forms a pleasing task; and whilst the artist paints them on canvas with consummate skill, there is a way by which they may be more completely imitated, so that -

"Nature herself might almost be deceived:"

Viz., by modeling them in wax...

...The art of modelling in wax is both an amusing and useful occupation. Many persons, however, think it very difficult to attain, which is not the case, and therefore do not direct their attention to it.

The writer has had much experience in the art, and trusts that while the book may prove invaluable to the beginner, many hints will also be found worthy the attention of the more experienced Artiste."
