tions, their products, and the difference in the structure of their 
different parts, is explained with clearness, and elucidated by a 
great number of fine figures, drawn by the author himself with that 
skill which he is known to possess. The very copious botanical 
nomenclature is there explained, and the explanations illustrated by 
examples. We find, likewise, an interesting history of the science, 
and of those who have most advanced it. ‘The work is terminated 
by tables of the principal systems, and particularly by a new expo- 
sition of the characters of the natural families of plants.

I. Cure of Hydrophobia. 
Many of my readers are probably aware that bleeding was suc- 
cesstully employed in a case of hydrophobia in India. It was carried 
(if we recollect right) the length of producing syncope. Professor 
Hufeland has lately announced that the same remedy has been 
tried in different instances in Germany, and that it has been equally 
successful. He promises to publish some of the cases. 
Ill. Extraordinary Preservation of Animal Life without Food. 
The following very extraordinary fact is published in the Linnean 
Transactions, vol. xi. p. 419, on the authority of Thomas Mantell, 
Esq. A hog was buried in its stye by a fall of part of the chalk 
cliff under Dover Castle, Dec. 14, 1810. On the 23d of May, or
