Since our review of this work in a previous volume, sev- 

 eral editions have been issued, and we have now before us 

 the seventh. In the advertisement to this edition, the au- 

 thor states that it " has been revised with very particular 

 attention and care; all the latest and most eminent writers 

 in Europe, which have come to hand, having been diligently 

 consulted, and the experience of the most intelligent of our 

 own country. In this edition many important alterations 

 will be found, and many additions, particularly in regard 

 to fruits. The list of these, although so complete in former 

 editions, is yet, in this, greatly improved; and especially in 

 those fiue kinds, which have been so lately proved by Mr. 

 Thompson and others, at the garden of the London Horti- 

 cultural Society ; or more latterly approved with us." 



Mr. Kenrick has labored to produce a volume containing 

 all the information up to 1844; and in a hasty perusal of 

 this edition, we notice that many entire pages have been 

 cancelled, and others altered and rewritten ; many fruits 

 are more fully described, and others introduced of whose 

 qualities ample and satisfactory information could be ob- 

 tained. Many synonyms, also, have been detected, and the 

 names struck out.
