signs of tlie beautiful, "but all were Llended in such 

 perfect harmony, that it combined in its effect the 

 panoramic view of a most splendid and perfect whole. 

 The minature landscape garden exhibited by Mr Graef, 

 was a most perfect model of the kind, and displayed 

 great taste in its architectural arrangements, as well 

 as great elegance of design. 



Amid such a scene, who could view the beautiful 

 productions before them without the eye being 

 charmed, the smell greeted with fragrance, and the 

 imagination enriched with the feast. Here stoic 

 apathy must awaken from its cold indifference, and in- 

 fidelity be lost in the majestic contemplation of a God 

 supreme : 



Nature's great parent ! whose unceasing hand 

 Rolls round the seasons of the changeful years, 

 How mighty, how majestic are thy works ; 

 With what a pleasing dread they swell the soul. 



If my limits would admit, I should feel pleased to 

 notice all the contributors to this exhibition ; but their 

 names will be found as contributors to our previous 

 exhibition, with the exception of James Dundas, Esq., 

 of Philadelphia, to whom we were indebted for some 

 fine specimens of foreign ferns, as well as a very friend- 

 ly communication to the corresponding secretaryj ex- 

 pressing his most ardent wishes for the success of the 

 Society. We are also under many obligations to A. P.
