Oryptogamia; with reference to their localities." 12mo. This little 

 work is intended for the pocket, and may advantageously be taken into 

 the field by the students who object to carrying an 8vo book in their 

 hand ; and, in this point of view, will be found an useful companion to 

 those who are interested in collecting the vegetable productions of the en- 

 virons of Edinburgh. The stations mentioned, too, are generally more 

 full than in Dr Greville's work. We rejoice at the appearance of every 

 new botanical work in this part of our island, however humble its pre- 

 tensions ; for we are satisfied that each one is a means (to use our author's 

 own words) of " facilitating the acquisition of a science which is every- 

 where loved, and valued, and cultivated, — which, while it informs the 

 understanding, improves also the heart, and enlarges the boundary of 

 harmless and rational enjoyment."
