POMARIUM BRITANNICUM, or an HISTORICAL and BO- 

 TANICAL ACCOUNT of FRUITS known in GREAT BRITAIN. 



3d Edition, in 1 vol. 8vo. Price, 10*. 6d. 



" We know of no class of readers which is not much obliged to Mr. Phillips for this 

 very useful and very entertaining publication. It is one of those popular works, which 

 combining in a happy degree the pleasing with the instructive, teach us science as an 

 amusement, and promote information and improvement by lively anecdote and curious 

 story. From the most learned horticulturist, to the least anxious epicure that bites an 

 apple, this volume deserves a friendly reception ; and we are sure that it only needs to 

 be known to become a favourite. For extent of information, utility, and most of the 

 other good qualities, which can be desired in a production of its kind, it is really de- 

 serving of the warmest eulogy." LITERARY GAZETTE. 



II. 



HISTORY of VEGETABLES CULTIVATED in GREAT 

 BRITAIN. 2d Edition, in 2 vols. 8vo. Price II. Is. 



In this Work, the object of the Author has been to render the know- 

 ledge of the Plants entertaining and useful, not only to Botanists, but to 

 those who have hitherto deemed it a difficult and uninteresting science. 

 He has endeavoured to ascertain of what Countries the Vegetables now 

 cultivated are natives, the earliest account of their cultivation, and how 

 far they have improved by attention, or degenerated by neglect ; also the 

 various uses made of them by the Ancients, as well as the Moderns, of 

 different Countries. 



III. 



SYLVA FLORIFERA; the SHRUBBERY, Historically and 

 Botanically treated, with Observations on the Formation of Orna- 

 mental Plantations and Picturesque Scenery, 2 vols. 8vo. 



" The animated and agreeable manner in which Mr. Phillips has illustrated a subject in 

 itself most pleasing, cannot fail to interest every reader. To such unfortunate persons to 

 whom the face of nature is ' barr'd and bann'd forbidden fare,' these volumes will 

 prove a rich feast, for the perusal will almost cheat them into a belief that they are 

 wandering again through some of those pleasant shrubberies, in which, perchance, they 

 have passed their happiest youthful hours." NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. 



IV. 



FLORA HISTORICA; or the THREE SEASONS of the

 Plants, as practised by the most celebrated Florists of England, Hol- 

 land, and France. 2 vols. 8vo. 



" Mr. Phillips, whose labours we have before had the pleasure of noticing, has ren- 

 dered a very acceptable service to the lovers of flowers and flower gardens by the pub- 

 lication of these agreeable volumes. They are a pleasant MELANGE of botany, poetry, and 

 anecdote, interspersed with occasional directions for the benefit of those who are fortu- 

 nate enough to possess some ANGULUS TERR.-E in the similitude of a garden." NKW
