 splendid series of portraits of remarkable trees, in imperial folio, is prepar- 

 ing for publication, Deliciae Sylvarum ; or, Select Views of Wild and Ro- 

 mantic Forest Scenery, drawn from Nature, and etched by himself.

Hortus Siccus Londinensis ; or, a Collection of dried Specimens of 

 Plants growing wild within Twenty Miles round London, named on the 

 Authority of the Banksian Herbarium, and other original Collections. By 

 D. Mariano La-Gasca, late Professor and Director of the Botanical Garden 

 of Madrid, Foreign Member of the Horticultural Society of London, and 

 of many other Scientific Academies in Europe. 



This work will contain specimens of all the plants growing spontane- 

 ously in a radius of twenty miles rouud London, considering the Royal 

 Exchange as a centre. 



It will be published in parts, each containing twenty-five plants, fixed on 

 stout yellow wove post folio. Each species will be on a separate leaf, and 

 so disposed, that the work may be bound in volumes of four parts without 

 any injury to the specimens. They will be fixed to the paper by means of 

 slips of paper pasted with glue, so that should it be wished to examine the 

 plants more conveniently, they may be removed without any fear of break- 

 ing them. 



With the name of the plant will be given the place or places where it 

 may have been found, and the time of its flowering. It is also proposed to 

 state those places where the same plant is to be met with in Spain, of 

 whose Flora but very little is generally known ; thus the Author, whilst 

 satisfying the curiosity of the English Botanist, will, at the same time, be 

 serving those of his own country who very much desire correct information 

 of the Plants of Linnaeus. 



Although the Author has studied Botany with unremitted attention for 

 more than thirty years, he does not altogether trust to his own knowledge, 

 and the names of the plants are given after having been compared with the 

 Herbarium of the immortal Sir Joseph Banks, (now in the possession of the 

 celebrated R. Brown, Esq., the plants of which have been compared with 

 those of the original Herbarium of Linnaeus, of Aylmer Bourke Lambert, Esq. 

 and those of the Messrs. Sowerby, who possess the original plants from 

 which were executed the engravings for the " English Botany." These 

 plants were described by the learned Sir James Edward Smith, author of 

 the " English Flora," and carefully compared with those of the Linnaean 

 Herbarium possessed by the same author. The Author, assisted by his two 

 eldest sons, will every year be able to publish six Parts. 



Subscriptions for the work will be received at the house of the Author, 

 25. Camden-Place, Camden-Townj at the library of Mr. Salva, 124. Re- 

 gent Street, and at G. B. Sowerby's, F.L.S.,1 56. Regent Street. The 

 amount of subscriptions to be 1/. each Part. Subscriptions to be paid on 

 receiving the different Parts.
