To begin with Germany. — In the Manual of Botany, by 

 Christ. Schkuhr, mechanician at Wittenberg, who died 1811, 

 published at Wittenberg between 1791 and 1803, in three vo-

 of particular districts of Gernuiny, we may mention, espe-

 Christ. Gmelin, physician at Baden, ])ublished at Carlsruhe, 

 1805 and 1810 ; the Flora Cryptoganiica Erlangensis of 

 Charles Frederick Phihp Martins, published at Nurnberg, 

 1817; and the Prodronuis Flora^ Neomarchicje oi" John Fre-
