> " We hail with extreme pleasiu'e au illustrated ' History of British Sea-Weeds ' 



J and above all, on account of the accuracy which it ensures, one in which every species 



'• will be drawn, lithograplicd, and described by tlie same hand ; the importance of 



< which combination in one individual is well known to naturalists of any experience, 

 i the species being generally described by one party, drawn by a second, and lithographed 

 ) by a third. So favourably is Dr. Harvey known to the botanical world as an Algo- 



; logist, that to speak of his excellent treatment of the subject in all its beai'ings seems \ 



\ supei-fluous. The ' History of British Sea-Weeds ' we can most faithfully recommend \ 



I for its scientific, its pictorial, and its popular value ; the professed botanist wiU find it ] 



\ a work of the highest character, whilst those who desire merely to know the names and \ 



\ history of the lovely plants which they gather on the sea-shore, will find in it, when < 



■ complete, the faithful portraiture of every one of them." — Annals and Magazine of \

V if we can pay it a higher compliment than by saying it is worthy of the author. \

5 " It is quite astonishing that so little use should be made of the profusion of \ 



\ wholesome food which is scattered through our woods and meadows in the autumn, > 



J under the form of various species of Fungi. This arises doubtless in great measure < 



\ from a want of practical knowledge of the distinctions between good and wholesome \ 



\ species, and those which are more or less deleterious, to supply which we have hitherto \
