 Gardening. By D, J. Browne, author of the Sylvia Ameri- 

 cana, 1 vol. 8vo., with many engravings. 



Nearly two years since we announced the preparation of a 

 volume under this title. Circumstances have, however, pre- 

 vented its publication, and we are glad now, not only to state 

 that the stereotype plates are nearly all completed, but, by 

 the kindness of Mr. Browne, the author, we are enabled to lay

 a few weeks, we shall notice it at length. We, therefore, omit 

 any further remarks, only calling the attention of every one 

 interested ui arboriculture, to this specimen of the volume.
