kingdom. They might have all grown here for centuries, or they 

 might have been as notorious upstarts as the Wandsworth plants. 



They were countenanced by some more respectable individuals, 

 viz. Verbascum Thapsus and V^ulverulentmi, Salvia verhenaca, 

 (Gorleston churchyard), Pyrus Malus, Veronica montana, Pyre- 

 thrum Parthenium, — also a suspected plant, but common compared 

 with the above, — Lastrea angular is ,Scolopendrium vulgare, Tamus 

 communis, Galium cruciatum, Anthemis Cotula, Hypericum humi- 

 fusum and H. perforatum, etc. etc. 



About a mile or two from the end of this lane, there is a kind 

 of path, but not a public one, to Bradwell church. In this 

 churchyard, which has a fine situation and is as pleasant as such 

 lugubrious places can be, there grows in considerable plenty 

 Hosa spinosissima and Smyrnium Olusafrum, — the latter a plant 

 questionable on the score of nationality, while the former rejoices 

 in a pedigree which has never yet been impugned. In this 

 sacred spot, these with several more common species find a con- 

 genial soil ; they grow cheek by jowl, in close contact, like the 

 ashes of the great and ignoble, the wise and learned, which mix 

 with the remains of simple and innocent rustics; an example 

 among many, of the living being nourished by the dead. Here 

 the plants grow, and here they decay and perish ; and probably 

 they have been here since the church and churchyard were con- 

 secrated to the purposes of divine worship and Christian sepul- 

 ture. 



In the marshes near Gorleston, Slum angustifolium, Carex 

 Pseudo-cyperus, and several common or aquatic plants, were ob- 

 served.

In a previous review of this important though small pam- 

 phlet, it was hinted that our readers would have another, though 

 briefer, report of its contents. This implied promise is now to be 

 redeemed.
