 Descriptive and Physiological Botany. Small 8vo, 328 

 pages, including 168 woodcuts. London, 1836. 6s. It 

 forms vol. 75. of Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopaedia. 



This is an introduction to descriptive and physiological 

 botany, of real interest and value, from the author's having 

 done justice to his subject, by including the numerous and 

 comprehensive principles that belong to it in modern botany ; 

 and from the agreeable and able manner in which he has 

 stated and elucidated them. There is, too, in this introduc- 

 tion matter on subjects that are, so far as one remembers, 

 peculiar to it as compared with other British introductions ; 

 as that on colours, and that on fossil botany.
