The Esculent Funguses of England. 



An Account of their Classical History, Uses, Characters, Development, 

 Nutritious Properties, Modes of Cooking, etc. By the Rev. Dr. Bad ft am. 

 With 20 coloured plates. 



Super-royal 8vo, price 21s. coloured. 



" Such a work as the book before us was a desideratum in this country, 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 on the decaying wood of our orchards and 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 impunity." Athenaeum.

Illustrations of British Mycology. 



Figures and Descriptions of the Funguses of interest and novelty indigenous 

 to Britain. By Mrs. Hussey. 



Royal 4to; First Series, 90 coloured plates, price £7. 12s. M. coloured; Second 

 Series, 50 plates, price £4. 10s. coloured. 



" This talented lady and her sister were in the first instance induced to draw some of the 

 most striking Fungi merely as picturesque objects. Their collection of drawings at length 

 became important from their number and accuracy, and a long-continued study of the 

 nutritive properties of Fungi has induced the former to lay the results of her investigations 

 before the public, under the form of monthly illustrations, of the more useful and interest- 

 ing species. The figures are so faithful, that there can be no difficulty in at once determi- 

 ning with certainty the objects they are intended to represent ; and the observations, 

 especially those of the culinary department, will be found of much interest to the general 

 reader, and we doubt not that our tables will in consequence receive many a welcome addi- 

 tion ; while from the accuracy of the figures there will be no danger, with ordinary atten- 

 tion, of mabing any serious blunder." Gardeners' Chronicle.

The Tourist's Flora. 



A Descriptive Catalogue of the Flowering Plants and Ferns of the British 

 Islands, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. By Joseph Woods, 



8vo, price 18.?. 



' ' Few books were more required for the use of many English travellers who make the 

 ordinary European tours, in'their own country or on the Continent, and who^desire an ac- 

 quaintance with the many vegetable productions they see around them, than one like the 

 present, and few men are more competent to prepare such a work than Mr. Joseph Woods, 

 a very considerable portion of whose long life has been devoted to travelling at home and 

 abroad, •with this special object in view. He is him-elf familiar with most of the plants 

 described i this volume, from having studied them in their native localities, and he has 

 taken great pains to give the essential characters of the genera and species in as few words 

 as possible, so that the whole is compressed into 500 closely-printed pages."
