Art. 1 is " a Notice of the Garden of Canonmills Cottage, 

 the residence of Patrick Neill, Esq., LL. D., F. L. S., &c., 

 with lists of the rare plants contained in, or figured and described 

 from it." 



Canonmills Cottage has been the residence of Dr. Neill's 

 family for upwards of a century. It is situated about a mile from 

 the city of Edinburgh, and contains, in all, not more than half an 

 acre and three poles of ground; but in this Hmited space there is 

 included a greater store of botanical riches than is said to be 

 found in any other suburban garden of even much greater extent 

 in any part of Britain, or, perhaps, in the world. 



Annexed is a perspective view of the garden, as seen from the 

 door of the dwelling-house, late in autumn. 



Of the rare plants growing in, and those figured and described 

 from, the garden, we shall select only those which are of great 

 interest or beauty, to show our readers how zealous Dr. Neill 

 has been in the pursuit of botany and gardening.
