To the young botanist Mr. Bicheno's paper offers some valuable hints. Too 

 much time may be spent in examining into nice and accidental distinctions between 

 species and varieties, which, though useful to a certain extent, by exercising and 

 quickening the faculties, {Gardener s Magazine, 418.) might be more profitably 

 employed in comparing the general appearance and examining the essential cha- 

 racter of the groups, or masses (See Lindleij in Phil. Mag. July,) which compose 

 the vegetable kingdom. For this purpose, such systems as we have recommended 

 to be formed in every pleasure-ground (E. of G. § 6126. and G.M.A35.) would be 

 of the greatest utility, and, by a few hours' examination, give every description of 

 observers a more complete and instructive idea of the whole vegetable world, than 

 the study of merely such plants as came accidentally in the way, would do in a 

 life-time. Mr. Bicheno's excellent paper is no small addition to the arguments 

 in favour both of studying natural systems in books, and planting them in gardens.
