 ment, Structure, Nutritions Properties, Modes of Cooking and Preserving, 

 etc. By C. D. Badham, M.D. Second Edition. Edited by F. Curuey, 

 F.R.S. Demy 8vo, 152 pp., 12 Coloured Plates, 12*. 



A lively classical treatise, written with considerable epigrammatic humour, 

 with the view of showing that we have upwards of 30 Species of Fungi abounding 

 in our woods capable of affording nutritious and savoury food, but which, from 

 ignorance or prejudice, are left to perish ungathered. " I have indeed grieved," 

 says the Author, " when reflecting on the straitened condition of the lower 

 orders, to see pounds of extempore beefsteaks growing on our oaks, in the shape 

 of FistuUna hepatica; Puff-balls, which some have not inaptly comi)ared to 

 sweetbread ; Hi/dna, as good as oysters ; and Jr/aricns deliciosas, reminding us of 

 tender lamb-kidney." Superior coloured Figures of the Species are given from 

 the pencil of Mr. Fitch.

This beautifully-illustrated work is the production of a lady who, being an 



accomplished artist, occupied the leisure of many years in accumulating a \wx\- 



folio of exquisite drawings of the more attractive forms and varieties of British 



Fungi. The publication was brought to an end with the 140th Plate by her 



sudden decease. The Figures are mostly of the natural size, carefully coloured 



by hand.
