Su])])lt)iicnl to Ijuiiduns Ilorlus liiii'uiiiiiciix, in 2+ pages 8vo, appears

 of which we are under the greatest obligations to almost all the botanists 

 and nurserymen about London. 



Praciical Jliiifs on Landscape-Gardening, with some Remarks on Archi- 

 tecture, as connected with Scenery, with Plates, by W. S. Gilpin, Esq., are 

 preparing for publication. This work, we are sure, will be peruse<l with

 falling into the hands of practical ganlencrs. 



The jMusliroom and Champignon illnxiratcd, compared with, and distin- 

 guished from, the Poisonous Fungi that resemble them. Containing five 

 plates, with their descrii)tions. By J. Sowcrby, Jun. In small quarto ; 

 price \s. (id. plain, or -^.v. (id. highly finished in colours. This work will 

 possibly have been published ere this notice of it meets the light. The 

 reasons assigned for undertaking it are the following: — " As accidents 

 are frequently occurring by mistaking the poisonous for the eatable fungi, 

 particularly the ylgaricus virosus, one of the most ])oisonons and most com- 

 mon, for the champignon ; and as many people, not knowing the distinc- 

 tions, are afraid of using any, it has been suggested that a work pointing 

 out the diflerences, in a manner that shall be intelligible to every one, 

 would be generally useful, it is therefore hoped that the little work just 

 offered to the public will be productive of good ertects."
