T OUDON'S ARBORETUM et FRUTICETUM 



J-i BRITANNICUM. In 8 vols. 8vo (4 of letterpress and 4 of 

 plates), with a new and corrected impression of the plates, price 



"•rLtework wm published by the late Mr. Loudon, at his own 

 expense ; and it not only occupied his time and that of his 

 numerous assistants for upwards of four years, but cost so large 

 a sum as to leave him, at its close, nearly ten thousand pounds 

 in debt. To pay this sum, Mr. Loudon placed the whole i of his 

 literary property, which was very considerable, in tl c hanris^ of 

 his publishers. Messrs. Longman, to act as trustees till the whole 

 debi was paid; and thus, though the late Mr. Loudon died ^ pos- 

 sessed of the copyright of thirteen valuable works, his , family 

 cannot derive any advantage from them till the remainder of the 

 debt owing on the " Arboretum " (still amounting to more than 

 fifteen hundred pounds) is paid. As the " Arboretum Bntan- 

 nicum " has been spoken of in the highest terms in all the prin- 

 cipal Reviewsor Europe and North America, and as the 4 Quarterly 

 Review" says that it is «« a book of solid value, worthy of a place 

 in the library of every landed gentleman," it is hoped that such 

 noblemen and gentlemen as do not possess a copy will purchase 

 one ; as. if 150 copies could be sold, the whole of Mr. Lolix.n s 

 literary property would be set free for the benefit of his widow 

 and family. Orders will be most serviceable to the family, if 

 addressed to Mrs. Loudon, Bayswater, near London.

The Overland Mail from India of the 1st of March 

 has arrived this week. The most important intelligence 

 it brings is the announcement cf the pacification of India. 

 The supremacy of the British Government has been 

 admitted in Gwalior, and our army has returned into the 

 British territory with the artillery and other contributions 

 obtained from the conquered state. There has been no 

 renewal of disturbances in Scinde, but three of the Bengal 

 and Madras native regiments had shown a rebellious dis- 

 position on being ordered to serve in that unhealthy 

 country. The condition of Lahore is still threatening, 

 although no actual outbreak has taken place ; the appre- 

 hension, however, of further troubles is proved by the 

 collection of a large force of our Indian troops on the 

 banks of the Sutlej, in order to be prepared for any- 

 emergency. From China the advices state that the mer- 

 cantile arrangements are going on to the g * tl8f " Uo f? t 

 the British and Chinese authorities, and that the best 

 feeling exists between our merchants and the 

 population—From France the news u chiefly of a
