LIST OF WORKS. 3 



of the extraordinary abundance and perfection of its produce at seasons when common 

 gardens are empty, and the great world seems to have arrived at the conclusion that 

 kitchen gardening and forcing there are nowhere excelled. We have, therefore, exam- 

 ined, with no common interest, the work before us, for it will be strange indeed if 

 a man who can act so skilfully as IMr. Sanders should be unable to offer advice of 

 corresponding value. We have not been disappointed. BIr. Sanders's directions are as 

 plain as words can make them, and, we will add, as judicious as his long experience had 

 led us to expect. After a careful perusal of his little treatise, we find nothing to object 

 to and much to praise." — Gardeners' Chronicle. 



14. POPULAR MINERALOGY. By Henry Sowerby. Royal 16mo. 

 With twenty plates of figures. 10.y. Qd. coloiu'cd. 



"Mr. Sowerby has endeavoured to throw around his subject every attraction. His 

 work is fully and carefully illustrated with coloured plates." — Spectator. 



15. THE TOURIST'S FLORA. A Descriptive Catalogue of the Flowering 

 Plants and Ferns of the British Islands, France, Germany, Switzerland, 

 and Italy. By Joseph Woods, F.A.S., F.L.S., F.G.S. 8vo. 18*. 



" The intention of the present work is to enable the lover of botany to determine the 

 name of any wild plant he may meet with, when journeying in the British Isles, France, 

 Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, thus including in one book the plants of a far larger 

 part of Europe, than has been done by any preceding author ; for Reichenbach's ' Flora 

 Excursoria ' omits Britain, France, and the greater part of Italy .... and we are not 



acquainted with any other work of similar scope But we must conclude, and in 



so doing, beg most strongly to recommend this work to our readers, who when travel- 

 ling on the Continent will find it invaluable ; and if studjang plants at home, will ob- 

 tain from it a clue to much information contained in the Floras of other countries, which 

 might otherwise escape their notice." — Annals of Natural History. 



16. POPULAR HISTORY OF MAMMALIA. By Adam White, F.L.S., 



Assistant in the Zoological Department of the British Museum. With 



sixteen plates of Qv^adrupeds, &c., by B.' Waterhouse Hawkins, 



F.L.S. Royal 16mo. 10,y. &d. coloured. 



" The present increase of our stores of anecdotal matter respecting every kind of 



animal has been used with much tact by Mr. White, who has a terse chatty way of putting 



down his reflections, mingled with easy familiarity, which every one accustomed daily 



to zoological pursuits is sure to attain. The book is profusely illustrated." — Atlas. 



" Mr. WTiite has prosecuted natural history in almost all its branches with singular 

 success, and in the beautiful work before us has gone far to raise up young aspirants as 

 eager, if not as accomplished, as himself. No book can better answer its purpose ; the 

 descriptions are as bright as the pictures, and the kind-hearted plaj-fulness of the style 

 will make it an especial favourite. Unlike some popular manuals, it is the product of 

 first-rate science." — English Presbyterian Messenger. 



17. VOICES FROM THE WOODLANDS ; or. History of Forest Trees, 



Lichens, Mosses, and Ferns. By Mary Roberts. Royal 16mo. 



Twenty plates by Fitch. 10.y. &d. coloured. 

 " The fair authoress of this pretty volume has shown more than the usual good 

 taste of her sex in the selection of her mode of conveying to the young interesting in- 

 struction upon pleasing topics. She bids them join in a ramble through the sylvan 

 wilds, and at her command the fragile lichen, the gnarled oak, the towering beech, the 

 graceful chestnut, and the waving poplar, discourse eloquently, and tell their respective 

 histories and uses." — Britannia.
