Art. I. Catalogue of Works on Gardening, Agriculture, Botany, 

 Rural Architecture, SfC, lately published, with some Account of those 

 considered the most interesting. 



Clarke, Alexander Cowden, Author of " Tales in Prose from 

 Chaucer :" Adam, the Gardener. 12mo, pp. 279. London, 

 1834. 



The objects of this little work are, to instil into the minds of 

 youth a love for " the beautiful face of Nature, its green fields, 

 the shining sun, and the sailing clouds ; " to convey to them, 

 at the same time, a taste for gardening and natural history ; and 

 to implant in them humane feelings and liberal opinions. As a 

 work of gardening, it cannot be considered as addressed to the 

 practical man ; and therefore we do not feel ourselves called 

 upon to enter into its details of cultures, though, as far as we 

 have examined them, they are unobjectionable. To all those, 

 however, who wish to imbue the minds of youth with a love of 

 rural nature and* a taste for the cultivation of the earth, we can 

 most strongly recommend it as one of the best of books. It 

 is written in an easy and attractive style.
