 " The ' History of British Sea- weeds ' we can most faithfully recommend for its 

 scientific, 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 portraiture of every one of them." Annals and Magazine of Natural 

 History. 



THE VINE. Illustrated with plates. 8vo. 5*. 



" Mr. Assheton Smith's place at Tedworth has long possessed a great English re- 

 putation for the excellence of its fruit and vegetables ; one is continually hearing in 

 society of the extraordinary abundance and perfection of its produce at seasons when 

 common gardens are empty, and the great world seems to have arrived at the con- 

 clusion that kitchen gardening and forcing there are nowhere excelled. We have, 

 therefore, examined, with no common interest, the work before us, for it will be 

 strange indeed if a man who can act so skilfully as Mr. Sanders should be unable to 

 offer advice of corresponding value. We have not been disappointed. Mr. Sanders's 

 directions are as plain as words can make them, and, we will add, as judicious as his 

 long experience had led us to expect. After a careful perusal of his little treatise, we 

 find nothing to object to and much to praise." Gardeners' Chronicle.
