Catalogue of Works on Gardening^ Sj'c. 81 



T/ie Builder ; a Builder's Neivspaper and Magazine. In weekly folio numbers. 



This journal is intended to be, for the various arts connected with building, 

 what the gardening newspapers are for gardening. The first number pro- 

 mises well. It contains, besides an address, what the editor calls his 

 " Sermon," an article on the Treatment of Workpeople by their Employers, 

 written in an excellent spirit ; several reviews, miscellaneous paragraphs, and 

 various notices, together occupying five pages, with the addition of eleven 

 pages of advertisements ; in all, sixteen folio pages for \^d., or stamped to go 

 ti-ee by post 2ir/. ! The work is every way deserving of success, and we 

 doubt not will obtain it. 



Animal Chemistry, or Organic Chemistri/, in its AjipUcations to Physiology and 

 Pathology. By Justus Liebig, M. D., Ph. D., F. R. S., M. R. I. A., Professor 

 of Chemistry in the University of Giessen. Edited, from the Author's 

 Manuscript, by William Gregory, M. D., F. R. S. E., &c. 8vo, pp. 354. 

 London, 1842. 



There is much in this work to interest the thinking gardener, who, if he can 

 procure the book, will find his mind enlarged by the perusal, It will probably 

 be noticed more at length in an article which Mr. Lymburn is now kindly pre- 

 paring for us. 



Van Voorst^s Naturalist's Pocket Almanack for 1843. London, pp. 32. \s. 



Mr. Van Voorst is the publisher of a number of works on natural history, 

 such as Yarrell's Birds, Yarrell's Fishes, Bell's Quadrujyeds, Jones's Animal 

 Kingdom, and twenty or thirty others, which have contributed greatly to the 

 diifusion and popularity of natural science, and elevated Mr. Van Voorst's 

 name to the first rank among liberal and enlightened publishers. His books 

 are all admirably got up, and very cheap. The little book now before us is 

 original in its plan ; the whole of the information which it contains being 

 limited to natural history. At the end there is an account of the different 

 Natural History Societies in London, including the Royal, Linnaean, Horti- 

 cultural, "Geological, Zoological, Entomological, Botanical, Microscopical, and 

 Ornithological. Next follows an account of the metropolitan museums, libra- 

 ries, and gardens. For every leaf of letter-press there is a leaf" of blank 

 paper, ruled with blue lines at the rate of eight to an inch. 



The Farmer's Calendar and Diary of Agricidture and Gardening for the Year 

 1843. London : printed for the Company of Stationers. l2mo, pp. 95. 

 Price \s. 



The agricultural calendar is by a friend of ours, of the Scotch school, who 

 has the management of three extensive farms in Wales, and we can recom- 

 mend it as one of the best things of the kind. The other parts of the Farmer's 

 Calendar are good and useful, and the work may be considered as among the 

 best of the rural almanacks.

 Gutch, M.R.C.S.L. London, pp. 187.
