example which will effect what we ardently desire, sooner than many of us 

 i magine. 



The Annates de la Societe d' Horticulture and the Bulletin des Sciences 

 Agricoles appear monthly, as usual. But of late we have had no room for 

 extracts, nor is there much in them worth extracting.

Art. IV. Literary Notices. 



OBSERVATIONS on the 'present defective State of English Timber, by Mr. 

 P. Lauder of Cardiff, are in preparation, and will shortly be published by 

 subscription. The work will be in 4to, and the price a guinea. The 

 subscription list includes many names of rank. 



Lithographic Views, and copious Descriptions of Scenery, in North and 

 South America, New South Wales, New Zealand, and other South Sea 

 Islands, and various parts of the coast of India, will be published, in 

 monthly numbers. The author of the work, Mr. A. Earle, an eminent 

 artist, has devoted twelve years to travelling through these countries. We 

 have looked over his portfolios, and been highly delighted with the original 

 and striking character of the scenery in New Zealand, Van Diemen's Land, 

 and New Holland. It is singular that the pediment and the ornamented 

 barge-board of a British cottage should be a common feature in the better 

 description of huts of the New Zealand chiefs. 



Illustrations of Landscape-gardening and of Garden Architecture, from the 

 works or communications of garden-artists of all ages and countries, edited 

 by J. C. Loudon, promised and commenced so long ago as 1828, is far 

 advanced. An Elementary Plate, showing all the different details of map- 

 drawing, and which will serve as an excellent drawing-book for gardeners : 

 Design by Mr. Masey for a Public Garden for Bristol ; the Public Gardens 

 of Frankfort, on three plates, by M. Rinz ; Design, by Mr. Major, for laying 

 out 100 acres, near Leeds, as a Villa Residence ; and the Park at Nym- 

 phenburg, in four plates, by M. Sckell of Munich, are engraved, and in the 

 hands of Mr. Hullmandel, for printing. The size of the plates is 22 in. 

 by 18 in. The work will appear in parts, at 21s. ; and at the same time in 

 numbers, at 3s. each. PL I., Elementary Details of Map-drawing, will be 

 sold by itself, price 2s. 



Koran Minor; or a Supplement to all the preceding Editions or Pub- 

 lications of the Encyclopaedia of Gardening [see W. T. in Times, July 22.], 

 is in preparation, and, we trust, will be ready early in 1831. All those who 

 are in possession of the Encyclopaedia of Gardening will greatly oblige us 

 if they will send us whatever corrections, additions, or alterations they 

 may think necessary, not only for this Supplement, but for a new edition 

 of the Encyclopaedia. These will be in time if they reach us by Michael- 

 mas next, as neither of the works will be put to press this year. Corrections 

 as to the names and owners of the country seats mentioned in Part IV. 

 will be particularly acceptable, and the same as to the statistics of the 

 Encyclopaedia of Agricidture, now passing through the press. All who send 

 us corrections between August and October next will receive a copy of the 

 Supplement gratis. — Cond. July. 



Hortus Britdnnicus. — The last sheets are now passing through the press, 

 and the work will certainly be published by the middle of August.
