 BRITISH SEA-WEEDS. 



Drawn from Professor Harvey's 'Phycologia Britannica.' With Descriptions, 

 an Amateur's Synopsis, Rules for Laying on Sea-weeds, an Order for 

 Arranging tliem in tlie Herbarium, and an Appendix of New Species. By 

 Mrs. Alfeed Gatty. Illustrated with 80 coloured Plates, containing 384 

 figures. In Two "Volumes, super-royal 8vo., price £2 10s. 



'Those who are acquainted with Mrs. Gatty's "Parables from Nature," and especially with 

 her delightful Parable about "Eed Snow," need not be told that the literary part has been 

 ably executed by a competent and loving observer. In her present work she has endeavoured, 

 and we think most successfully, to translate the terpas and phrases of science into the language 

 of amateurs. Mrs. G-atty's familiarity with the plants themselves has enabled her to do this 

 office without falling into the errors to which a mere compiler in separating fi-om the beaten 

 track would be liable.' — Gardeners' Chronicle. 



ALPINE PLANTS. 



Descriptions and 103 accurately-coloured Figures (drawn and engraved ex- 

 pressly for this Work) of some of the most striking and beautiful of the 

 Alpine Flowers. Edited by David Woostee, joint editor of the latest 

 editions of Loudon's 'Encyclopaedias of Gardening and Plants,' 'Hortus 

 Britannicus/ &c. In One Yolume, super-royal 8vo., price £1 5s. 



'The manner in which "Alpine Plants" is produced is creditable alike to author and artist. 

 The literary portion is not the mere dry botanical descriptions often found in such works, but 

 a popular description of the plant, instructions as to its culture and treatment, with any in- 

 teresting iuformation in connexion with it that can be obtained. . . . We heartily commend 

 this work to all lovers of flowers.' — Journal of Horticulture. 



'Not least among the illustrated Christmas books should be reckoned this interestiug work 

 with its beautifully coloured specimens.' — Saturday Revieiv. 



' The letterpress is full, no doubt, of the most accurate botanical learning, but what we have to 

 speak of more particularly are the illustrations, and these strike us as among the best specimens of 

 wood-block printmg. There is about them none of that plastered gaudiness, that thick and sticky 

 style in which too often the wood-engraver endeavours to paint the lily. A crocus seems just to 

 have thrust itself through the brown soil which the thaw has softened.' — Tin\es,

'It is a book to read, to ponder, to mark, learn, and inwardly digest. . . . Let those who want to 

 know the "moral" of mosses inquire within the covers of the volume. He will there find that 

 these humble plants have their uses, their virtues, and their mission.' — Morning Advertiser,
