Arr. XVII.— Bibliographical Notices. 
1. New edition of Michaux’s North American Sylva.—The first vol- 
ume of this work, (announced on page 377 of the last volume,) has at 
length appeared. The text is reprinted verbatim, from Hillhouse’s 
translation; Mr. Nuttall’s additions being reserved for the supplemen- 
tary volumes. The engravings (No. 1 to 50,) which are handsomely 
colored impressions from: the original plates, will bear comparison with 
those of the former edition: this, we are sorry to add, is more than can 
be said of the paper and typography of the text, which are truly, 
_ wretched. We trust that Mr. Nuttall’s portion of the work, at least, 
will make its appearance in a more attractive dress. 
2. Loudon’s Encyclopedia of Trees and Shrubs ; ; being the Arbore- 
tum et Fruticetum Britannicum, abridged, Sc. London, 1842.—Since 
our notice of the first fasciculus, (p. 376 of the last volume,) this truly 
yaluable work has been completed, according to the original announce- 
ment, in ten monthly parts, forming a volume of 1162 pages octavo. 
It contains the characters, synonymy, popular names, as well as popular 
descriptions, of all the species and varieties of hardy trees and shrubs, 
now in British gardens, with directions for their culture, and notices of 
their uses in the arts, &c. The volume is illustrated by 2109 wood 
engravings, the indefatigable ‘author having been able to obtain figures 
a nearly all the species described in it. Although this abridgment 
does not include all the interesting information to be found in the eight 
volumes of the larger work, “yet it contains all that is necessary for 
discovering the names of the different species, and for ascertaining their 
culture, propagation, and uses in Britain ; in es all that is pig 
for the eereerynam, gardener, and forester.’
