COMMENDATIONS 
OF 
GOOD’S FAMILY FLORA. 
It is by no means the intention of the Author, in this advertisement, 
merely to puff or extol his Work—but simply to call public attention to 
it. He only asks that persons examine the several numbers of the 
Famity Fiora as they come from the press; and then if they do not 
acknowledge, and are not convinced, that it contains the choicest and 
most valuable matter as a “Text Boox’”—notwithstanding it is also a 
most acceptable and appropriate “ Partor, or Lapy’s Boox”—and 
withal the cheapest Prriopicat extant, not being affected by Age or 
Fashion, but always new, popular and interesting—he does not ask sub- 
scription or patronage; for he maintains that all claims to public favor 
or support must rest solely upon the real merits of the Work, and unless 
the Work in this respect maintains itself, and commands success, he 
would prefer abandoning it altogether. As evidence, however, of the 
opinions of some of our eminent Professors, who are best able to judge 
on the subject, he submits the following communications (in addition to 
those already presented in the first volume,) taken at random from several 
correspondents, who have favored him with their kind commendations. 
He avails himself also of this opportunity, to tender his most hearty 
welcome to the new subscribers who are continually coming in, and 
whose letters contain such flattering notices of the Fammy Fuora. 
There is room for them and their friends, and no effort shall be spared 
to make the Famiy Fiora more and more woe of their — 
encomiums.

Good’s Family Flora and Materia Medica Botanica—We have 
carefully perused the Family Flora, which the author, P. P. Good, A. M. 
of Elizabethtown, New Jersey, has had the kindness to forward to our 
address. This periodical is printed semi-monthly, but distributed to sub- 
scribers quarterly ; twelve numbers being bound together in pamphlet — 
form. 
It is devoted to the botanical analysis, and oe properties of both 
indigenous and foreign medical plants. 
Each number is embellished with one very, ee pea oe oe 
medical plant, which tends greatly to beautify the work. 
For neatness and elegance of style, we know of no pamphlet which — 
exceeds this.
