The engravings are on steel ; but, though they are most beautifully exe- 

 cuted, and make pretty pictures, they cannot be called good or characteristic 

 figures of the species. The letter-press is compiled in a popular manner, 

 and the work may certainly be considered the cheapest of its kind. It is 

 proposed to devote 50 numbers to 240 species and varieties of quadrupeds, 

 one volume to 1.50 birds, one volume to fishes and amphibious animals, and 

 one volume to reptiles and insects. *' Thus the purchaser will be possessed 

 of a cyclopaedia of natural history, at the moderate price of 3/., embracing 

 beautiful representations and historical accounts of more than 600 species 

 of the animal creation." {Address on the Cover.)

Lindlet/, John, Esq. F.R.S. L.S. G.S. &c. Professor of Botany in the 

 London University: An Introductory Lecture to the Course of Botany - 

 to be delivered in the London University. London. 8vo. 1*. 

 After tracing the origin and progress of botany, and its important uses, 

 directly and indirectly, in the arts of life, the professor announces his in- 

 tention of teaching this science by the Jussieuean method, as alone worthy 

 of the present age, the present state of science, and the London university. 

 Professor Henslow at Cambridge, we believe, is the only other botanical 

 teacher who follows in his lectures the same system. We think both 

 gentlemen entitled to the highest praise, and we doubt not they will be 

 followed by all the professors in the country.
