The following Extracts are selected from a few of the many favourable 

 Notices which hare appeared concerning this Work : — 



" A spirited translation of a celebrated work, very elegantly gotten up." — Spectator. 



" Mr. Houghton Kingdon has here commenced a very acceptable service to the 

 British botanist, by undertaking a translation of De Candolle's celebrated work on 

 Vegetable Organography. . . We have to state that it is executed with a perfect 

 knowledge of the author and his language ; and promises to be an indispensable ad- 

 dition to the Botanical Library." — Literary Gazelle, Feb. 23, 1839. 



" This edition of one of its author's most valuable elementary works cannot fail to 

 prove acceptable and highly useful to the English student of botany. The part before 

 ns is vigorously translated ; it is got up in a very handsome style, and contains a satis- 

 factory specimen of the plates which are to illustrate the minute parts of Vegetable 

 Anatomy, &c. .". . . . We are glad to learn that it is to be followed by a translation of 

 the same author's work on Vegetable Physiology." — Monthly Review, February 1839. 



" A translation of this work has long been a desideratum to the English botanist. 

 One is now offered by Mr. Bot/ghton Kingdon, which, for the convenience of pur- 

 chasers, is to appear in Monthly 2s. 6d. Parts. The work is well printed, and is 

 illustrated by Plates of the organs, and numerous anatomical parts of Vegetables." — 

 Tait's Edinburgh Magazine, February 1839. 



" We are glad to see the commencement, in numbers, by Mr. Kingdon, of a 

 translation of the elementary works of the celebrated De Candolle. This will, indeed, 

 be a great desideratum to the English reader. It is true that we have had partial 

 translations and comments on the speculations and views of this eminent philosopher, 

 but no opportunity of following him through the consecutive workings of his master 

 mind. The style of the translation is clear and concise." — The Botanist, February 

 1839. 



" We are very glad that there is at length a prospect of our possessing a good 

 English version of De Candolle's Organography and Physiology, for the latter will be 

 commenced at the conclusion of the former : every candid botanist will unhesitatingly 

 admit that this celebrated author claims a place among the most philosophic natu- 

 ralists of the present day. The translation is good, and the illustrations are neatly 

 executed." — The Naturalist, March 1839. 



" The translation of De Candolle's work on the Organography of Plants, by Mr. 

 Boughton Kingdon, is a valuable addition to our botanical literature. . . . We are 

 glad to observe that it will continue to be published in Monthly Parts, so that it will 

 be within every body's reach." — Gardener's Gazette, March 16, 1839. 



'• We most strongly recommend the work to all our readers who have a taste for 

 plants, and more especially to all young gardeners." — Gardener's Magazine, April 

 1839.
