our engravings, in order to identify them, this should be 

 borne in mind — a single pear selected without such caution 

 will often lead into error. It was, we believe, an invaria- 

 ble rule of the late Mr. Manning, never to give a name to a 

 pear from a single specimen when there was the least doubt.

by Rozier, Miller, Forsyth, and others. It is very accu- 

 rately figured in the New Duhamel, Vol. VI. pi. 61. It is 

 also figured in the Pom. Mag., Vol. II. pi. 51 ; but the 

 coloring is so much higher than that in the N. Dvh., that 

 it suggests a question of its identity. The wood, how- 

 ever, "and the description, correspond so nearly, that there 

 can be no doubt of its being the same. The specimen was 

 probably from a dwarf tree, perhaps on the quince, which 

 would be likely to give it a tinge of red.
