of drawings at length became important from their number and accuracy, and 

 a long continued study of the nutritive properties of Fungi lias induced the 

 former to lay the results of her investigations before the public, under the 

 form of illustrations of the more useful and interesting species. The figures 

 are so faithful that there can be no difficulty in at once determining with 

 certainty the objects they are intended to represent ; and the observations wiU 

 be found of much interest to the general reader." — Gardeners^ Chronicle. 



" This is an elegant and interesting book : it would be an ornament to the 

 drawing-room table ; but it must not, therefore, be supposed that the value of 

 the work is not intrinsic, for a great deal of new and valuable matter accompanies 

 the plates, which are not fancy sketches, but so individualized and life-like, that 

 to mistake any species seems impossible. The accessories of each are significant 

 of site, soil, and season of growth, so that the botanist may study with advantage 

 what the artist may inspect with admiration." — Morning Post.
