correspondent, "this work will be chieHy botanical, the reader 

 will not find there, as he too often finds in works of this nature, 

 a mere farrago of Latin definitions to satisfy his curiosity. Mt 

 Boyle has collected all the information he could obtain in the 

 East regarding the virtues and properties of the several plants : 

 he has cultivated them in the Botanic Garden 6t Saharumpore, of 

 which he was the superintendant, and administered them to the 

 sick ; he has studied them in connection with climate, soil, and 

 situation. The animals will be described, and iheir natural his- 

 tory fully considered, and the niinerals also will be noticed. '^ This 

 work, from what we have heard of Mr Boyle's talents and ac- 

 quirements, promises to be of a very^ superior cast. 



8. Cyclopmdia of Anatomy and Physiology ; being a series of Dis- 

 sertations on all the Topics connected with Human., Comparative, 

 and Morbid Anatomy and Physiology. Edited by Professor 

 Grant of the London University, and Mr Todd, Lecturer on 

 Anatomy and Physiology in London. 



The name of Professor Grant alone is a sufficient guarantee 

 to the public that the editors will fulfil to the letter all the con- 

 ditions, and these ate very important ones, of the ptospectus 

 now in circulation. The object of Dr Grant and Mr Todd, 

 and those embarked in this undertaking, is to put within the 

 reach of every practitioner and student of medicine the marrow 

 of an anatomico-physiological library ; to enable them to com- 

 mand all that is known of the pathology or comparative anato- 

 my of any disputed or doubtful point ; to make them acquainted 

 with the anatomical peculiarities of species in zoology, which it 

 would occupy hours in a well stocked library to ascertain ; — in 

 short, to afford an amount of information upon these subjects 

 which no other printed work can supply. The work will appear 

 in parts, and the first part will be published early in 1834. 



9. Bridgewater Treatises, 



A second edition of Sir Charles Bell's beautiful and interesting 

 treatise is about to appear. Dr Roget's treatise on Physiology, 

 in three volumes, now in the press, will take the lead, in Britain, 

 in this department of science. Buckland has been engraving, but 

 has not yet begun to print ; he will be the last, but certainly not 

 the least important, of the Bridgewaters. Dr Prout's anxiously 

 expected treatise now passing through the press, will, we doubt
