?^5i^nJSVu>.— This work is important, not only for 



SiadeDtific re irch displayed by the author in an 



"treiBelr interesting branch of Natural History, but 



the first instance of the application of a new and 



Shuble process of imitation and reproduction, called 



"^ure-Printing." The plants being represented in 



—lief as if painted upon paper, and all the parts in 



e'r'several appropriate colours, the result is a com- 



"substitute for the original specimen. To the 



botanical student such a means of study must be in- 



£zA.-£och is the beauty and perfection of this mode of 

 ^^ representation, that the very plants themselves seem 

 aflbjering to the paper. | 



from a good Hortus Siccus. 

 ■We can testify to the extreme delicacy and exactitude 

 with which the forms of the various species of ferns 

 are represented, so as, in fact, to convey the impres- 

 sion that the plants themselves have been transferred 

 to paper. 



Leader.— A most remarkable series of botanical illustrations. 



Morning Advertiser.— By this process a vast improvement has 



been effected upon any of the methods previously 

 m existence, inasmuch as it displays, with absolute 

 accuracy, the minutia) of superficial structure. 



Observer.— Every ramification of the most minute vessels of the 



plant is g.ven in these admirable prints, with an accu- 

 racy only attainable by Nature Pi ting; and all its 

 peculiar features, picturesque as weD as botanical, are 

 shown in the most perfect manner. 



Sunday Times.— The ostensible purpose of the work— is to furnish 



acomplete history and classification of the British Ferns.
