Curtis* s cheap edition, edited by Dr. Hooker, of his Botanical 

 Magazine. — The publication of this work was commenced in 

 numbers, the first of which is noticed in VI. 267., and one volume

 and the second volume is in preparation. In this edition the 

 subjects are placed in the order of what is called the natural 

 arrangement, by which kindred species are brought together :
