NOTICES AND ANALYSES OF NEW BOOKS AND 

 PAPERS. 



Botanical Miscellany. By VV. J. Hooker, Professor of 

 Botany in the University of Glasgow. Parts IV^ and V. 



We cannot sufficiently express our satisfaction, that, after a considerable 

 lapse of time, two Parts of a second Volume of this admirable 

 work have made their appearance. The plan is somewhat altered : 

 instead of 25 octavo phites to each number, 12 of which M^ere 

 coloured, and the price \b shillings, there are 10 octavo uncoloured, 

 with five quarto coloured plates, forming a fasciculus, to be bound up 

 separately ; and the whole price is 10s. 6d. The public is thus the 

 gainer. In these two numbers we have a Biographical Notice of 

 Captain Carmichael ; a reprint of Jack's Malayan plants ; Illustrations 

 of Indian Botany, by Dr Wight ; Botanical Excursion in Jamaica, 

 by Dr Macfadyen ; Notice of the late Mr Barclay ; Burchell's 

 Brazilian Journey ; Observations on some British Plants, by Mr 

 Wilson ; Klotzsch's Method of Preserving Fleshy Fungi, f cum tab.) ; 

 Excursion from Lima to Pasco, by Mr Cruickshanks, with a de- 

 scription of the plants there collected, by Dr Hooker ; Ledebour's 

 Journey to the Altaic Mountains, and descriptions and illustrations 

 of several new, or rare plants. A more interesting series of papers 

 we have seldom seen combined ; selections from them will be found 

 in our Botanical Collections. 



The British Flora. By W. J. Hooker, Professor of Botany in 

 the University of Glasgow. Second Edition. 



Having had occasion to notice the first edition of this work, we regret 

 that we must pass over the second very slightly. This contains several 

 additions to the botany of our islands, which have been discovered 

 within these last twelve months, and merits the continuance of the 

 public favour, which, judging by the rapid and unprecedented sale, 

 for a botanical work, has been so deservedly extended to the former 

 edition.
