224 New or interesting Plants 



sion of these terms, by young persons, will serve to increase the interest 

 which they will take in architectural reading, and will contribute materially 

 to their progress in architectural taste and criticism. 



A General Index, in alphabetical order, will afford an easy and detached 

 reference to the whole work. 



Supplement to Loudon's Hortus Britdnnicus, in 24 pages 8vo, appears 

 with the present Number. It is a work of great labour, for the materials 

 of which we are under the greatest obligations to almost all the botanists 

 and nurserymen about London. 



Practical Hints on Landscape-Gardening, with some Remarks on Archi- 

 tecture, as connected with Scenery, with Plates, by W. S. Gilpin, Esq., are 

 preparing for publication. This work, we are sure, will be perused with 

 interest; we hope it will not be published at such a price as to preclude its 

 falling into the hands of practical gardeners. 



The Mushroom and Champignon illustrated, compared with, and distin- 

 guished from, the Poisonous Fungi that resemble them. Containing five 

 plates, with their descriptions. By J. Sowerby, Jun. In small quarto ; 

 price Is. 6d. plain, or 2s. 6d. highly finished in colours. This work will 

 possibly have been published ere this notice of it meets the light. The 

 reasons assigned for undertaking it are the following: — " As accidents 

 are frequently occurring by mistaking the poisonous for the eatable fungi, 

 particularly the ^garicus virosus, one of the most poisonous and most com- 

 mon, for the champignon ; and as many people, not knowing the distinc- 

 tions, are afraid of using any, it has been suggested that a work pointing 

 out the differences, in a manner that shall be intelligible to every one, 

 would be generally useful, it is therefore hoped that the little work just 

 offered to the public will be productive of good effects."
