Botanic Rambles in Braemar ; by WiīLLIAM GARDINER 
DUNDEE. 
In our last volume, p. 138, we noticed the intention of 
Mr. Gardiner, the intelligent Botanist of Dundee, to pre- 
pare sets of specimens of Scottish and chiefly Highland 
plants for sale. These are now in circulation, and we can 
truly say they are highly creditable to Mr. Gardiner, and 
deserve encouragement from the Botanists of this country. 
We then announced also the * Botanical Rambles in Brae- 
mar in 1844," to be sold for one shilling. This little and 
entertaining volume has just appeared, and we can con- 
fidently recommend it to all lovers of British Plants, and to 
alllovers of nature also. As a brief specimen, we give the 
commencement of his rambles to the “ Reeky Linn, Craighill, 
Braemar.” “A June morning in the country, to one who 
has just escaped the noise and smoke, and bustle of a popu- 
lous town, is a luxury indeed! It is like entering upon a new 
state of existence, where all is changed to purity and peace. 
The air one breathes is fresh, and sweet with the perfume of. |
