 &c. illustrated by a woodcut of each species, and numerous vignettes. 

 8vo, pp.48. London, 1841. 



This is a very beautifully got up work. No pains have been spared on either 

 the engravings or the letterpress, but we must say that the result, as far as 

 respects the engravings, is not at all in proportion to the labour incurred. 

 The portraits of the trees want character, which, we suppose, cannot be attained 

 on so small a scale. Even on the larger scale adopted in our Arboretum 

 Britannicum, we found it extremely difficult to get artists to produce character, 

 more especially in the young trees ; for it may with truth be stated, that the 

 art of engraving trees, either on copper or on wood, is yet in its infancy. The 

 letterpress is every thing that could be wished ; and the work, taken as a 

 whole, may be characterised as one of great beauty, and a fit companion to 

 Yarrel's British Birds and Yarrel's British Fishes. 



Die Coniferen. By Francis Antoine. Parts II. and III. 1840. 



Part I. of this work is recorded and quoted from in p. 28. The numbers 

 before us carry on the list as far as No. 36., Pinus canariensis. The plates are 

 well executed, both in regard to engraving and colouring ; and the work, which 

 may be obtained through Mr. Pamplin,'wili be highly acceptable to many British 

 collectors of Coniferae.
