442 Works on Gardenings S^c. 



those who wish for instruction in the culture of the rose must 

 consult Rivers's Descriptive Catalogue, reviewed in Vol. X. 

 p. 509., subsequently in Vol. XII. p. 260., and in the current 

 Volume, p. 55.; and Rivers's Rose A?nateurs Guide, 8vo, 1837, 

 reviewed in p. 94. It is but justice to Mrs. Gore's translation 

 to state, that there is no English work that contains such a co- 

 pious and distinct monography of both species and varieties ; 

 and we only regret that we cannot speak as favourably of the 

 other parts of the work, always excepting, however, the geo- 

 graphy. Should ever the work come to a second edition, a 

 tabular analysis of the monography would be a very great 

 improvement ; and, indeed, this and the geography would form 

 an excellent work by themselves. 



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

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

 considered the more interesting. 



The Flower-Garden. Part II. : The Green-liouse, Hot-house, 

 and Stove. By Charles M'Intosh, Head Gardener to His 

 Majesty the King of the Belgians at Claremont. Small Svo. 

 In monthly parts, \s. each. Part VI. appeared on Aug. 1. 



V^^e noticed that part of the Floxsoer-Gardeti which treated of 

 hardy plants in our preceding Volume, p. 602., and we shall 

 recur to the present work as soon as it is completed. In the 

 mean time, the name of M'Intosh is a guarantee for the sound- 

 ness of the practices recommended. 



A Treatise on Roads; wherein the Principles on which Roads 

 should he made are explained and illustrated, hy the PlanSf 

 Specifications, and Contracts made use of hy Thomas Telford, 

 Esq., on the Holyhead Road. 2d edition. By the Right Hon. 

 Sir Henry Parnell, Bart., Honorary Member of the Society 

 of Civil Engineers. Svo. London, 1838. 



We have, in a former volume, strongly recommended this 

 work, as by far the best that has ever appeared on the subject 

 of roads, and one which no country gentleman or land steward 

 ought to be without. 



Flora Medica.; or, a Botanical Account of all the most remarkable 

 Plants applied to Medical Practice in Great Britain and othe7' 

 Countries. By John Lindley, Ph.D. F.R.S., &c.. Professor 

 of Botany in the London University College. One vol. 8vo. 

 London, 1838. 

 It may be enough for us to state, respecting this work, that 



we understand that Dr. Lindley has been engaged on it for two 



or three vears.
