LIST OF WORKS.' 5 



tific, its pictorial, and its popular value ; the professed botanist will find it a work of 

 the highest character, whilst those who desire merely to know the names and history 

 of the lovely plants which they gather on the sea-shore, will find in it the faithful por- 

 traiture of every one of them." Annals and Magazine of Natural History. 



" The drawings are beautifully executed by the author himself on stone, the dissec- 

 tions carefully prepared, and the whole account of the species drawn up in such a way 

 as cannot fail to be instructive, even to those who are well acquainted with the subject. 

 The greater part of our more common Algse have never been illustrated in a manner 

 agreeable to the present state of Algology." Gardeners' Chronicle. 



22. POPULAR HISTORY OF BRITISH SEA-WEEDS. By the Rev. 

 DAVID LANDSBOROUGH, A.L.S., Member of the Weruerian Society of 

 Edinburgh. Second Edition. Royal 16mo. With twenty plates by 

 Fitch. 10,?. Qd. coloured. 



" The book is as well executed as it is well timed. The descriptions are scientific as 

 well as popular, and the plates are clear and explicit. It is a worthy sea-side com- 

 panion a hand-book for every resident on the sea-shore." Economist. 



23. TRAVELS IN THE INTERIOR OF BRAZIL, principally through 



the Northern Provinces and the Gold and Diamond Districts, during 

 the years 1836-41. By GEORGE GARDNER, M.D., F.L.S. Second 

 and Cheaper Edition. Svo. Plate and Map. Price 12s. ; bound, 18*. 

 " When camping out on the mountain-top or in the wilderness ; roughing it in his 

 long journey through the interior ; observing the very singular mode of life there pre- 

 sented to his notice ; describing the curious characters that fell under his observa- 

 tions ; the arts or substitutes for arts of the people ; and the natural productions of the 

 country ; these travels are full of attraction. The book, like the country it describes, is 

 full of new matter." Spectator. 



24. ILLUSTRATIONS OF BRITISH MYCOLOGY; or, Figures and De- 



scriptions of British Funguses. By Mrs. T. J. HUSSEY. Royal 4to. 

 Ninety plates, beautifully coloured. Price 11. 12*. 6d., cloth. 



f ' This is an elegant and interesting book : it would be an ornament to the drawing- 

 room table ; but it must not, therefore, be supposed that the value of the work is not 

 intrinsic, for a great deal of new and valuable matter accompanies the plates, which are 

 not fancy sketches, but so individualized and life-like, that to mistake any species seems 

 impossible. The accessories of each are significant of site, soil, and season of growth, 

 so that the botanist may study with advantage what the artist may inspect with admi- 

 ration." Morning Post. 



25. ILLUSTRATIONS OF BRITISH MYCOLOGY; containing Figures 



and Descriptions of the Funguses of interest and novelty indigenous to 

 Britain. Second Series. By Mrs. HUSSEY. In Monthly Parts, price 

 5*. To be completed in twenty Parts. Coloured plates. 



26. THE ESCULENT FUNGUSES OF ENGLAND. By the Rev. Dr. 



BADHAM. Super-royal Svo. Price 21*., coloured plates. 

 " Such a work was a desideratum in this country, and it has been well supplied by 

 Dr. Badham ; with his beautiful drawings of the various edible fungi in his hand the 

 collector can scarcely make a mistake. The majority of those which grow in our mea- 

 dows, and in 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." Athenccuin.
