 long journeys through the interior ; observing the very singular mode of life there 

 presented to his notice ; describing the curious characters that fell under his observation, 

 or giving an account of more tangible things, as the nature of the diseases, the arts 

 or substitute for arts of the people, and the natural productions of the country these > 

 Travels in the Interior of Brazil are full of attraction. The book, like the country ^

 velopment, Structure, Nutritious Properties, Mode of \ 

 Cooking, Preserving, &c., by CHARLES D. BADHAM, M.D. > 

 in one vol. super royal 8vo. 21s., coloured plates. 



"There is no reason why we should eschew frogs and relish turtle; still less 



'. is there for our eating one or two of the numerous edible Funguses which our island 



: produces and condemning all the rest. To draw attention to this fact and to supply 



'', an accurate account with a correct delineation of the esculent species of this family in 



Great Britain are the objects of the book before us ; such a work was a desideratum 



: in this country. The majority of those which grow in our meadows and on the / 



: - decaying wood of our orchards and forests are unfit for food,- and the value of Dr. ', 



: Badham's book consists in the fact that it enables us to distinguish from these such 



: as may be eaten with impunity." Athenaeum. 



17. CONCHOLOGIA SYSTEMATIC A, or Complete System j 

 of Conchology, in which the LEPADES and MOLLUSCA are 

 described and classified according to their natural organi-

 of 1,500 figures of Shells; by LOVELL REEVE, F.L.S. : 

 In two quarto volumes, cloth, price 10/. coloured, 61. plain. 



" The text is both interesting and instructive ; many of the plates have appeared ,' 

 , before in Mr. Sowerby's works, but from the great expense of collecting them, and 

 the miscellaneous manner of their publication, many persons will no doubt gladly 

 avail themselves of this select and classified portion, which also contains many original ; 

 figures." Athenaum .
