We should be most happy to see Dr. Alman's plan fully explained, 

 being quite satisfied of the superiority of the natural to the Lin-

 afforded for this kind of display.

 copperplates. Potsdam, 1837. 



This is an excellent little woi'k, illustrated by very neat en- 

 gravings; and, though the whole of it is not exactly suited to the

 Britain during the past year. Among the latter are, Mr. For-
