 directed to this old-established and popular record of new and recently 

 cultivated plants. The position of the Author as Director of the 

 largest and most valuable collection in the world, and his habits of 

 friendly communication, not only with Botanists and Botanical Travel- 

 lers, but with Nurserymen and the distinguished Horticulturists of 

 the day, ensure the earliest publicity of the more interesting and re- 

 markable species ; whilst the acknowledged excellence of Mr. Fitch's > 

 drawings, executed at Kew under the superintendence of the Author, ; 

 is a sure guarantee for the subjects being faithfully delineated.

" Before the appearance of any portion of this work there could be but one opinion ; 



of Dr. Harvey's thorough fitness for the letter-press department ; happy are we to find c 



that his pencil is not less felicitous than his pen. The drawings, admirably true to ! 



nature, are executed in a most masterly and tasteful style ; and well it is that the ' 



work has fallen into the hands of Messrs REEVE, who have done great justice to the : 



letter-press part, and whose coloured plates are truly exquisite. Edinburgh Witness. ,
