The number of trees and shrubs in the British arboretum, received from 

 North America, is considered to be 528, and they comprise the greater part 

 of the names in the foregoing enumeration. Still, as it is not always certain 

 that the same names in our catalogue are applied to the same things, there 

 may be a number of species described by Pursh which are not yet introduced 

 into Britain. At all events, we have little doubt that, in the unexplored parts 

 of North America, there are many species that will, at no distant day, find 

 way to Europe. 



The greater part of the trees and shrubs of Europe, which are remarkable 

 either for beauty or utility, appear in the catalogues of the American nursery- 

 men, more particularly in those of Prince of New^York, and of Carr, the succes- 

 sor of Bartram, near Philadelphia. From a MS. which has been kindly sent to 

 us by Dr. Mease, containing the dates of the introductions of a number of 

 European trees into America, we find that some took place as i-arlv as the 

 settlers there from this country ; and that the introduction of European trees 

 was in an especial degree accelerated by the establishment of tree nurseries. 

 William Hamilton, Esq., of the ^yoodlands, near Philadelphia', is stated by all 

 the collectors of plants in America, during the last century, to have had the 

 most complete garden in the United States. It is said to have contained not 

 only all the plants of America, but those of Europe and other parts of the 

 world, which were considered of interest either for arts or medicine. In
