years he continued almost without intermission the pubhcation of a 

 series of works, original and compiled, chiefly devoted to agriculture, 

 horticulture and rural architecture, and of a highly useful and prac- 

 tical character. The number and magnitude of these M'orks, the in- 

 cessant labour required in their production, and the anxieties neces- 

 sarily attendant on the large outlay of money involved in them, were 

 sufficient to undermine a constitution of far greater strength ; but 

 his energy and enthusiasm supported him through every difficulty, 

 and did not desert him even on his death-bed. He has left a widow 

 and one child, a daughter ; the former well known by various publi- 

 cations, and especially by her ' Ladies' Flower- Garden' and ' Ladies' 

 Botany.'
