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 Mr. Sanders should be unable to offer advice of 
corresponding value. We have not been disappointed. Mr. 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 Sowersy. Royal 16mo. 
With twenty plates of figures. 10s. 6d. coloured. 
‘*Mr. Sowerby has endeayoured 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 JosrpH Woops, F.A.S., F.L.S., F.G.S. 8vo. 18s. 
‘* 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 studying plants at home, will ob- 
tain from it a clue te 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 Apam Wurtz, F.LS., 
Assistant in the Zoological Department of the British Museum. With 
sixteen plates of Quadrupeds, &c., by B. WATERHOUSE HAWKINS, 
F.L.S. Royal 1l6mo. 10s. 6d. 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.’’—Atdlas. 
** Mr. White 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 playfulness 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 Roperrs. Royal 16mo. 
Twenty plates by Fitch. 10s. 6d. 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.
