EDUCATION. 



GENTLEMEN and MERCHANTS desirous of affording tlieir sons an education 

 of a superior order, and in accordance with the increased intelli},'ence of the aj^e, will 

 have an opportnnity of placinfr them, at Christmas next, in an Establishment couductdl 

 by a Gentleman, a' member of a University and of several learned bodies. 



'The Course of re^nilav Study, tau-jlit on'the most approved systems, comprehends 

 tlie Greek, Latin, Enj^^lish, French, German, Italian, and Spanish Lanjiuajres ; the 

 elements of Astronomy and Natural Philoso[)hy, Mathematics and Commercial 

 Accounts, History, Geo^raphj", &c. 



It may not be superfluous to add, that the Continental Lan<ruages, so indispensa>)le 

 a part of modern education, are taught under the immediate superintendence of the 

 Principal, who, from a long residence abroad, has an intimate and practical know- 

 ledge of the Languages and Literahn-e of Europe. 



Those branches of education which are susceptible of them, are illustrated by Lec- 

 tures and Experiments, with a view of exciting a more lively interest, and making a 

 deeper impression on the minds of the pupils, 



Tlie Establishment is situated in one of the Midland Counties, at an easy day's 

 journey from London, and the principal ports and manufacturing towns in England. 



For Terms and further particulars apply to "The Editor of the Analyst, Worcester." 



To form Two Volumes, 8vo, (viz. One of Letterpress, and One of Lithographic 

 Plates,) and to be published in Twenty Monthly Numbers, at 2^. &d. each ; 



No. I. will appear on January 1, 1835 ; 



THE ARBORETUM BRITANNICUM; 



Or, PORTRAITS FROM NATURE, to a Scale of a Quarter of an inch to a Foot, 

 of all the Trees and Shrubs which endure the Open Air in Britain, of the Sizes 

 which they attain in Ten Years in the Neighbourhood of London ; with Botanical 

 Fif^ures in Flower, or in Fruit or Seed, of most Species. The Letterpress will con- 

 tain Scientific and Popular Descriptions of all tlie Species figured ; Dft-ections for 

 their Propagation and Culture in the Nursery, and in Useful and Ornamental Planta- 

 tions ; and Observations on their Uses in the Arts, and more especially on their 

 Employment in Landscape-Gardening. 



By J. C. LOUDON, F. L. H. S., &c., Conductor of the « Gardener's Mag.," ^.o. 



For tlie above work the Author has been collecting materials for several years. 

 He had all the specimen trees in the Arboretum of the Messrs. Loddi£res measured 

 and sketched in the autumn of 1830 ; and he has had all those in tlie Garden of the 

 Horticultural Society of London also measured, and finished drawings from the trees 

 and shrubs made on the spot, in the autumn of the present year (1831.) 



The portraits of all the trees and shrubs will be to one and the same scale, viz., a 

 quarter of an inch to a foot ; and the botanical specimens (of which two will be jriveu 

 of each tree ; one in flower, or as it appears in sprin-r, if the plant does not flower 

 after ten years' growth in this country : and the other in fruit, or in seed, or as it 

 appears in autumn, if it does not foriii fruit or produce seed in this country at the 

 same age,) will be all to the scale of one inch to a foot. There will also be given a 

 flower, a leaf, and a seed- pod or fruit, to the scale of two inches to a foot. No drawiuirs 

 will be given which liave not been made from Nature ; and no species described 

 whi( h have not been seen by the author in the arboretums of the Horticultural Socie- 

 ty or of Messrs. Loddiges, or in some nursery or garden within ten miles of London, 

 By giving all the portraits, exhibiting entire trees or shrubs of the size which they 

 attain in ten years, to the same scale, those who propose to plant will see at once what 

 they have to expect in ten years ; adding a little to the bulk of the tree for countries 

 goiith of London, and deducting, proportionally, for those to the north of that city. 



The Arboretum Uritannicmn will be more especially useful to gentlemen intend- 

 ing to plant, and to nurserymen who have trees and slirubs to sell. Hitherto the 

 nurseryman, for the most part, has only been able to tell his customers the names of 

 tlie articles he recommended them to purchase ; but he will now be able to show 

 them correct representations of each. In order that the work may be sold cheap, the 

 Hthograjjliic plates will be printed on both sides of the leaf; })ut for those who wish 

 copies that may be coloured, some impressions (if ordered) will be taken on one 

 side the leaf only, and for these an extra shilling per Number will be charged. 

 Copies coloured from nature may, be had, if ordered, at Is. each Number.
