" The Enghsh ai-e not a fungus-eating nation ; and though we do not eat fiogs > 



like our neighbours, we ai-e rather celebrated for our love of another of the repti- ) 



lian family — turtle. There is no reason why we should eschew frogs and relish \ 



turtle; still less is there for our eating one or two of the numerous edible ^ 



funguses which oiu- island produces, and condemning all the rest. To draw \ 



attention to this fact, and to supply an acciu-ate account, with a coiTect delinea- \ 



tion, of the esculent species of this family in Great Britain, are the objects of the \ 



book before us. Such a work was a desideratum in this countr)-, and it has been \ 



well supplied by Dr. Badham ; with his beautiful drawings of the various edible \ 



fungi in his hand the collector can scarcely make a mistake. The majority of ^ 



those which grow in our meadows, and in the decaying wood of our orchards and j 



forests, are unfit for food; and the value of Dr. Badham 's book consists in the | 



fact, that it enables us to distinguish from these such as may be eaten with im- > 



punity." — Athenaurn. \
