We have now gone through the Pinetum Woburnense with the care and at- 

 tention which were due to such a magnificent contribution to botanical science. 

 The plates have been drawn and engraved by Mr. Weddell ; the same artist 

 who was employed by Mr. Lambert to execute the plates for the last two vo- 

 lumes of his Monograph of the Genus Pinus. It is therefore almost unneces- 

 sary to state that they could not have been better executed by any other artist 

 in this country. They have been also coloured under Mr. Weddell's inspec- 

 tion ; so that, for all purposes of reference, they will be of the greatest value to 

 the botanist. The letterpress is not less creditable to Mr. Forbes and the 

 Duke of Bedford than the plates are to Mr. Weddell. The activity of Mr. 

 Forbes in collecting and describing so many species and varieties in so short a 

 period, and, at the same time, managing so extensive a concern as the gardens 

 at Woburn Abbey, is to us altogether astonishing.

We are delighted to see that, " by the regulations of the University of Lon- 

 don, it is required of all students, that, two years previously to proceeding to 

 their examination for their first degree, they shall be examined, among other 

 subjects, in ' the characters and differences of the principal natural classes and 

 orders of plants belonging to the flora of Europe, in the botanical classification 

 of De Candolle.'" This " regulation" of the London University will effect won- 

 ders for the spread of rational botany ; and, as Dr. Lindley expresses it, of 

 making " young men acquainted with the names and properties of the common
