After the publication of his Review of the 
Modern State of Botany, its author was gratified 
by the following letters. 
Mr. Roscoe to Sir J. E. Smith. 
My dear Friend, Liverpool, June 9, 1817. 
I have read your dissertation on the present 
systems and state of botany with the greatest plea- 
sure, and am quite gratified to find how fully 
I coincide in all your opinions; as it leads me to 
think that however short the progress I have made 
may be, I have at least had the good fortune not to 
wander far astray. 
Your account of the botany of different countries, 
and of their different professors, is as novel as it is 
interesting ; and the candid spirit of discrimination 
in which it is written will not only confer honour
