Literary Notices. 461 



Every species and every principal variety in each genus will 

 be described, and represented by a figure drawn from nature. 

 Every consideration has been employed to lessen the costliness 

 of the work, so as to make it universally obtainable: its size 

 such as will just suffice to exhibit the objects; the figures 

 printed in black in one series of copies ; and, in another, with 

 one leaf and some of the petals coloured; and, in another set, 

 at the expressed request of subscribers, wholly coloured. The 

 two monographs will be published together in half-yearly 

 numbers, and the publication will be commenced as soon as 

 a sufficient number of subscribers has been received. Each 

 number of the work on aloes will contain 24 figures, and its 

 price, with the figures uncoloured, will be 10 francs; coloured, 

 20 francs : and each number of the work on mesembry- 

 anthemums will contain 36 figures; uncoloured, 15 francs; 

 coloured, 30 francs. The two works will give the description 

 of about 550 species, and will be finished in about five years. 

 Subscribers are requested to add their titles to their name 

 and address. It is stated, from the author, that he will re- 

 ceive any suggestions which subscribers may be disposed to 

 communicate, either in relation to the text or to the figures. 

 This modesty in a prince is very commendable. 



Mr. JHfogg, Florist, Paddi7igton, has just published 500 copies 

 of the Supplement to his Practical Treatise on the Culture of 

 the Tulip, Auricula, RaMunculus, Georgina or Dahlia, Sfc. 

 The Supplement, it is stated, " contains a clever and interest- 

 ing article on the cultivation of tulips, contributed by the late 

 William Clark, Esq., of Croydon." The bill states that this 

 work " is published : " had Mr. Hogg sent us a copy of it, 

 we might have noticed its contents. It is remarkable for a 

 " Supplement" to an existing work on floriculture to be sold 

 at seven shillings : this is the price of a good-sized volume. 



A popular Magazine on Architecture, Building, and Furnish- 

 ing, and the arts and sciences connected therewith, conducted 

 by J. C. Loudon, will appear in January next, and be con- 

 tinued quarterly. The objects of this work are, to spread a taste 

 for architectural improvement, and, at the same time, to serve 

 as a perpetual supplement to our Fncyclopdedia of Cottage, 

 Farm, and Villa Architecture and Furniture ; in the same way 

 as the Gardener's Magazine forms a perpetual supplement to 

 our Fncyclopcedias of Gardening, Agriculture, and Plants. 

 To attempt an architectural magazine, in these times, may be 

 considered a bold experiment; however, we have received 

 such assurances of support from the contributors to, and 

 readers of, our Encyclopccdia of Architecture, that we have no 

 doubt of success.
