PREPARING FOR PUBLICATION, 



By Baldwin, Cradock, $ Joy. 



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 Samuel Frederick Gray, Apothecary, 

 Lecturer on Botany and the Materia Medica, and Author of the 

 Supplement to the Pharmacopaeias. 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 Linnaeau 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 Linnaean 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.
