These works continue to go on in the same spirited manner as 

 before. A considerable number of species or varieties, or of 

 varieties new to the British flora, are introduced in Mr. Sowerby's 

 work, on the authority of eminent British botanists ; and, in Mr. 

 Baxter's number for November, Claytonm alsinoides is figured 

 as an English plant, on the authority of Mr. Paxton, who found 

 it " in an elevated part of a large plantation bordering Chats- 

 worth Park, unquestionably wild." We need hardly repeat our 

 strong recommendation of these works to all who wish to know 

 anything of indigenous botany. 



Icones Plantarum ; or. Figures, with brief Descriptive Characters 

 and BemarJcs, qfne'uo or rare Plants, selected from the Author'' s

 University of Glasgow. Parts I to IV. Price 145. each. 



This work being now completed, agreeably to the prospectus 

 published in our last, p. 507., we have only again strongly to 

 recommend it. 



The Gardener'' s Gazette, a WeeJdy Journal of Science, Literature, 

 and General News. London. Weekly, 3d. 



The idea of publishing a Gardener's Gazette is a good one : 

 it forms an exceedingly convenient medium for the publication of 

 the accounts of the provincial horticultural and floricultural 

 societies, and for the advertisements of nurserymen, florists, and 

 others connected with gardening. We must, howevex^, com- 

 plain of the editor for filling his columns, and sometimes entire 

 pages, with articles from this Magazine; sometimes of great 

 length, as was the case of our article on the truffle, which was 

 divided into three portions, published in three different gazettes, 

 and only acknowledged at the end of the last. The editor is 

 perfectly welcome to abuse us as much as he chooses, if he thinks 

 it will be of any advantage to him to do so ; but we must protest 

 against his making use of our property to the extent which he 

 has done. We appeal to his sense of justice and honour, whether 

 it is fair to do this, and how he would like it if he were placed 

 in our situation^
