Art. I. On the Anatomy of the Vine. By Walter William 

 Capper, Esq., Bath. 



(Continued from p. 25.) 

 Sir, 



Before 1 proceed with my second description of the ana- 

 tomy of the vine, I beg to express my best acknowledgments 

 to you for the superior manner in which my drawings have 

 been engraved ; and, I can assure you, such attention will 

 stimulate me in my future exertions. I have again to lament, 

 as I shall on every communication, the great expense you 

 incur respecting them ; but I rely more upon the drawings 

 than I do on my own remarks, to make the subject understood 

 by the practical gardeners, whose attention, as I said before, 

 I wish most particularly to attract. 



In the latter part of my former letter, which I had the 

 pleasure of addressing to you, I described the external appear- 

 ance of the elongated vessels of six divisions, which had 

 united to form the base and stalk of a leaf, as in p. IS. Jig. 2., 

 at ejg k i k. 



I will now represent the internal organisation of the three 

 vessels (efg) which are shown in Jig. 23., and also part of a 

 joint, with the upper and lower ends of two collets attached ; 

 the cuticle and cellular texture are removed, that the twenty- 

 four bundles in front of the vascular texture may be distinctly 

 seen ; the upper end of it also represents a horizontal view of 

 the 48 divisions of a collet, as before explained. 



The seventh, fourteenth, and twenty-first divisions, reckon- 

 ing them across at the bottom, are supposed to be the lower 

 ends of the divisions of efg in fig. 23. The twenty-first, or
