THE FLORA OF THE BRITISH ISLANDS; comprehend- 
ing the wild Plants, and those generally cultivated in the Fields; 
arranged according to the natural System of Jussieu, Decandolle, and 
the modern Botanists. By Samuet Frepericx Gray, Apothecary, 
Lecturer on Botany and the Materia Medica, and Author of the 
Supplement to the Pharmacopzias. 2 vols. 8vo. With Plates. 
%*,%* Several Floras, some complete, as those of Hudson and Withering; 
others incomplete, as those of Symons, Galpine, Smith, Hull, and Salisbury, 
have been published; but all on the Linnzan artificial System. At present the 
natural System, sketched out by Lobel and Morrison, improved by Ray, and 
still further improved by the labours of Jussieu and Decandolle in France, 
Browne and others in England, begins to acquire a preponderance over 
the Linnean System; but no Flora has yet been published upon that Plan. 
It is therefore proposed to publish one, upon this System, in the English Lan- 
guage, with every possible Improvement, consistent with the intended size of 
the Work. The introductory Part, and Cryptogamous Plants, will occupy the 
first Volume; the Phenogamous Plants the second. 
The Introductory Part will be comprehensive, on the Plan of Withering’s, that 
the Book may be a complete Work on Botany, not requiring the Purchase of an 
Introduction to explain it. It will be accompanied by Plates, some of them 
entirely new. :
