liAiLLON, President of the Linnsean Society of Paris, Professor of Medical 

 Natural History and Director of the Botanical Garden of the Faculty of 

 Medicine of Paris. Translated by Marcus M. Haetog, Trinity College,

Of the accuracy and excellence of this great work, the position of the author, 

 as a Botanist of the first ranlf, and an original investigator, is a sufficient 

 guarantee. Its popular readable style will commend it to all those who desire 

 to become acquainted with the wonderful variety of form and structure foand in 

 the vegetable kingdom, but are deterred by the technicalities of other botanical 

 works, The Illustrations, unequalled for beauty, clearness, and acdUracy, and 

 abundant in sectional detail of Flower, Fruit, and Seed, add greatly to the value 

 as well as to the attractiveness of the work. The Geographical Distribution 

 and the useful or noxious properties of Plants are duly noted at the end of each 

 family. In the Notes will be found full references to authorities and such 

 other matter as the advanced botanist may require. The First Volume, con- 

 tains the Families Eanunculace^, Dilleniace^, Magnouace.e, Anona- 

 c£^, MoNiMiACE^, and Rosacea. The second volume is in the press, and 

 the continuation will keep pace vrith the French Edition.
