of Plants for the Herbarium. I have also found it most valuable in 

 drying Alga, the most decisive test, in my opinion, to which such 

 Paper can be subjected, and safely recommend it to all engaged in 

 the study of these Plants." 



From the late E. Forster, Esq., V.P.L.S., F.R.S., F.H.S., $c, %c. 

 " Having used your Botanical Drying Paper, and found it to answer 

 the purpose intended, completely, I can safely recommend it to all 

 Botanists who wish to have their specimens well preserved." 



From the late W. A. Bromfield, Esq., M.D., F.L.S., F.B.S.. 8$c., %c. 

 " I consider your new Botanical Drying Paper as quite deserving 

 of the reputation it has already acquired, combining, as it does, the 

 requisite qualities of strength, absorbent power, and moderate cost. 

 1 shall have much pleasure in recommending its use to my botanical 

 friends."

u It has long been regretted that the heavy duty levied in England 

 upon foreign paper should prevent the importation of the cheap woolly 

 fabric of the French. That regret no longer exists, for we can state 

 that Messrs. Bentall's Paper is, in every respect, as good, and in qua- 

 lity much better than the generality of the French coarse drying- 

 paper. We have used it ourselves with much advantage, and we have 

 seen specimens of plants which are very difficult to dry well, such as 

 the common Myosotis, with even their colours perfectly preserved. 



" All botanical students should provide themselves with a supply of 

 this material." 



From Leo. H. Grindon, Esq. 



" Your Paper has given the most unqualified satisfaction to me and 

 my friends. It possesses so many good qualities, that any person 

 once trying it, I am persuaded, will never relinquish its use. It pre- 

 serves colours so admirably, and with so little trouble as to changing 

 damp sheets for dry ones, that I can recommend it from these circum- 

 stances alone. Its strength, cheapness, and durability are likewise 

 deserving of general approbation. I trust that we shall, ere long, see 

 a better style of drying specimens. It must be the case as soon as 

 your Paper comes generally into use."
