as seen in winter without the leaves. The same tree, as seen in 

 summer clothed with foliage. Oak in Tibberton Park No. 2., 

 seen in winter without the leaves. The same tree in summer, 

 clothed with foliage. Elm in the grounds of Rotherwas, seen 

 in winter without the leaves. This is a most remarkable tree ; 

 immense arms proceeding horizontally from the lower part of 

 the trunk, more in the manner of an ash than of an elm. We 

 hope a portrait of this tree will be given clothed with foliage. 

 Oaks, in the Bucknells, Lower Chilson Farm, Madley, Here- 

 fordshire. 



The dimensions of these trees are not given, nor the scale to 

 which they are drawn ; but this, we conclude, will be done in 

 the letterpress, of which only the title and two pages are given 

 with Part I. To drawing-masters, and to young persons study- 

 ing trees from nature, this work may be recommended as of 

 first-rate excellence.

A beautiful little work, evidently written by a practical man, 

 and admirably adapted for the purpose for which it was intended, 

 the infusion of a taste for the most innocent and delightful of 

 of all the branches of natural history into the young female 

 mind. 



Gleanings in Natural History. By Edward Jesse, Esq., F.L.S. 

 New edition, 2 vols. 8vo. London, 1838. 



Full of varied and pleasing reading, calculated to interest the 

 naturalist, the cultivator, and also the man of taste. We cannot 

 recommend a young gardener to purchase such a work, con- 

 sidering his low wages, and the many scientific books that he is 

 obliged to have, in order to acquire a competent knowledge of 

 his profession ; but our amateur readers will find Mr. Jesse's 

 Gleaninfjs a fit companion for the delightful Essays of Mr. Wa- 

 terton, and the Natural History of Selhorne,
