Miscellanies. 179 
This article of Dr. Emmet is followed by a description, botanical ~ 
and medical, of the Liriodendron ‘Tulipifera or American poplar, by — 
Dr. Benjamin Ellis, and is accompanied with a fine engraving ;—to 
this succeeds an account of Ichthyocolla, by D. B. Smith ;—and the 
fourth and last original article is a dissertation on Peruvian Bark, by 
Dr. Geo. B. Wood. ‘These are followed by a number of well se- 
lected articles, from foreign and other journals, and by the Review 
of the Philadelphia edition of the Pharmacopceia before mentioned. _ 
From the foregoing account of the Journal of the Philadelphia 
College of Pharmacy, our readers we trust will unite in the opinion 
that such an attempt to sustain and enlarge the science of a profession 
so intimately connected with the welfare of society, ought to be am- 
ply encouraged by the extension of its subscription list to every part 
of the United States, where drugs are compounded and the quality 
of them is a matter of interest to the buyer and the seller. 
We haye heard with much regret of the death of Dr. Benjamin 
Ellis, the principal editor of the Journal. He has left we understand, 
from his many amiable qualities, a painful blank in the circle of his 
acquaintance. From the able support which he received from the 
committee, we do not anticipate any diminution of interest in the 
Journal,

America. Mlustrated by colored figures from original drawings, ex- 
cuted from nature ; by Tuomas Say, F. M. L. S. &c. Vol I. Nos. 
1 and 2. New Harmony, Indiana. bine 
Since the notice, in ovr last volume, of Mr. Conrad’s first No. 
of American Marine Conchology, we have received Mr. Say’s two 
humbers of a work intending to embrace the whole of American 
Conchology, It gives us pleasure at all times to see any thing in 
the way of Natural History, from the pen of so distinguished and so 
industrious a naturalist. Wishing success to every undertaking inten- 
ded to illustrate our Fauna, we would call public attention to this un- 
dertaking which will require the assistance of students of this branch 
of Natural Science. ; 
la his Prospectus, the author says, the object of this work is to fix 
Species of our Molluscous animals, by accurate delineation in their 
“PPtopriate colors, so that they may be easily recognized even by 
"se who have not extensive cabinets for comparison.”
