Very few copies now remain for sale, and as the present reduced price scarcely repays the cost of colouring, there is no probability that the work will ever be reprinted. "This is to the present hour, the only extensive work on the Indigenous Botany of this country, which gives well coloured representations of the plants in THEIR PULL NATURAL SIZE. "The singular merit of this splendid and valuable publication is too conspicuous to need our eulogium. The specimens from which the Figures are drawn, are uniformly well chosen, and remarkable for their characteristic significance; the colours are vivid and expressive, and the dissections of the Flowers are admirably executed, and will prove more didactic than the lectures of any but very superior teachers. "All the parts of the plant are so well described, the characteristic difference of every species so accurately pointed out, and the minuter parts so fully displayed in numerous and magnified dissections, that no System of Botany can be invented which will not be aided by them; and no lapse of time can occur, when such truth of nature will not be equally valuable. "The Editor does not confine himself to Botany, but leads the reader into some little acquaintance with the study of the sister science, Entomology, marking, as he speaks of each Plant, the Insects which are usually found to feed upon it.-And where any opening affords an opportunity, the work has its share of elegance and classical treatment of the subject, see Viola odorata, where an illustration of Shakspeare occurs; also Viola tricolor, Bellis perennis, and many other instances.
