 Birds, accurately engraved, and most beautifully coloured, on glazed draw- 

 ing paper, (published at 10Z 10*) elegantly hf. bd. morocco, top edges gilt, 

 41 4s . . 1832 



"The valuable Notes and interesting Life of Wilson added to this new edition 

 are from the pen of Sir William Jardine, a Naturalist of congenial mind in feel- 

 ing and talent. The plates are better executed than those in the American 

 Edition, and the greatest possible attention has been paid to accuracy of colour- 

 ing. Altogether we have rarely seen a more valuable work on Natural History, 

 and not one more entertaining." — Literary Gazette. 



" The splendid work of Alexander Wilson will always be regarded as a sub- 

 ject of pride by his adopted country, as it certainly is by that which gave him 

 birth (Scotland)." — Chambers. 



" The History of American Birds, by Alexander Wilson, is equal in elegance 



to the most distinguished of our own splendid works on Ornithology." — Cuvier. 



" This is by far the best edition of the American Ornithology, both on account 



of the beautiful plates and the interesting notes of the editor. Every ornithologist 



must, of course, possess the work, and he should if possible procure this edition."

WOODVILLE'S MEDICAL BOTANY, containing Systematic Descrip- 

 tions of Medicinal Plants, with a circumstantial Account of their Effects, 

 and of the Diseases in which they have been most successfully em- 

 ployed, third edition, to which is added a Supplementary Volume, 

 by Sir William Jackson Hooker, illustrated by 310 coloured plates 

 by Sowerby, 5 vols. 4to. (published at 10Z 10s) half-bound morocco, un- 

 cut, hi bs 



The Fifth or Supplementary Volume, entirely by Sir W. J. 



Hooker, with 30 Coloured Plates, to complete the old editions, (pub- 

 lished at £2. I2s.6d.) cloth boards, £l. lis. 6d. 



No well-stored English Library should be I science, Sir William undertook to supply this 

 without Woodville's Medical Botany, a work of defect, by adding a Supplementary Volume, 

 long-established reputation, and the best on a containing all the new and acknowledged disco- 

 subject which must, more or less, be interesting j veries, and all the plants added to the Pharma- 

 to every man of inquiry. It contains accurate | copoeias since the publication of the work in 

 figures and descriptions of all the plants used in ■ 1810. New plates have likewise been given for 

 English medicine, and is of such authority with , the Cinchonas, and other plants, which were not 

 professional men, as to be almost as essential to j properly identified in the time of Woodville ; 

 them as the Pharmacopoeia itself. Subsequent I and new letter-press or errata for such descrip- 

 publications of a similar kind, though with '■ tions as were deficient or incorrect. All these 

 Woodville as their text-book, have fallen greatly I alterations and additions have been given in the 

 short of the original, as well in comprehensive- i supplementary or fifth volume, preserving 

 ness of plan, as in accuracy of delineation and everything contained in the original work, in- 

 correctness of colouring. It having long been a ; elusive even of the incorrect plates and letter- 

 matter of regret that so excellent a work, from press, though duplicate, leaving it to the pur- 

 ine want of a new edition, should remain so chaser's option either to cancel or retain them, 

 much behind the present state of pharmaceutical aB he pleases.
