•tamp his tame as an author. 



After much consideration, it was deci led that the best means of providing for his- family (and a means. to»\ strictly in keei 

 with the independent spirit which characterised the lire of Mr. Lofoox, would be by promoting the sale of his truly valuable Pk* 

 licutious. There is a large stock on hatnt of the following Works, the sale of which would extricate the family from their oreslm* 

 embarrassed 

 future suupoj 

 by soliciting his friends to become subscribers tor tde Publications enumerated below :— •

A Public Meeting for the benevolent purpose of promoting the sale of these works will beheld in the rooms of the Horn,

 precisely, when it is hoped all persons taking an interest in Gardening, who are within a reasonable distance, will attend. 



On the 1st December, 1843, exactly a fortnight previous to Mr. Louoon's lamented death, he published the following statement:— 

 " The Arhoretum Britnnnicum was got up between the years 1833 and 18.18, and published on Mr. Loiroox's own account, at an 

 expense of upwards of 10.000/. j the greater part of this sum was owing at the completion of the work, but it sold so well, till the 

 late depression of the book trade in 1811, that only about 2,600/. of the debt remained to be paid off at the end of that year. Itis, 

 however, necessary t<> observe that this large proportion of the debt was not paid off solely bv the produce of the Arboretum, but ia 

 part by the profits of Mr. LovnoN'l other literary property, consisting of thirteen different publications, all of which stand pledged 

 in the hands of his publishers, Messrs. Longman, for the debt due to others on the Arboretum. This debt, at the present 

 time, amounts to about 2,400/. ; and hence, if 350 additional Subscribers could be got. the debt would be at once liquidated, the 

 works pledged for it set Iree, and Mr. Liiuuon or his family would enjoy the whole produce of his literary property.* 



" This Appeal would never have been made, had not Mr. Loudon, who has been an invalid for several years, been lately seized 

 with an inflammation of the lungs, terminating in chronic bronclhtes, which, even if the disease should be considerably 

 alleviated, will effectually prevent mm from any longer pursuing his profession of landscape-gardener, on the produce of which 

 profession, and on the literary labours of Mrs. Loudon, he has entirely depended for his income, since his literary property wai 

 pledged for the Arboretum. Under these circumstances Mr. Loudon- feels himself justified in taking this mode of soliciting additional 

 Subscribers to the Arbor ft urn, and in begging his Friends and Patrons throughout the country to assist him in obtaining them. 



n( J' i ;» ,e / rA ^ /ttm has been spoken of in the highestterms in all the principal Reviews of Europe, and in the Botanical Periodicals 

 of North America. The Quurterly Renew says : — 



" .'This book is one of solid value, worthy of a place in the Library of every landed gentleman, as well as of every student of 

 Botanical, Arlmncultural, and Horticultural science ... Let us warmly congratulate Mr. Loudon on having finished his Herculean 

 task : a task which few men, except himself would have had the courage to begin, and still fewer the perseverance to complete. 

 1 he Arboretum Rntanmcum is complete in its kind, and it must become a standard book of reference on all subjects connected with 

 trees — Oct. 1 838. 



The following Ladies, Noblemen, and Gentlemen, who already possess the work, on being applied to. have kindly permitted 

 their names to be published as approving of the Jrborrtum, and of this Address to the Public :—
