of drawings at length became important from their number and accuracy, aud 
a long continued study of the nutritive properties of Fungi has induced the 
former to lay the results of her investigations before the public, under the 
form of illustrations of the more useful and interesting species. The figures 
are so faithful that there can be no difficulty in at once determining with 
certainty the objects they ave intended to represent; and the observations will 
be found of much interest to the general reader.”’— Gardeners’ Chronicle. 
“This is an elegant and interesting book: it would be an ornament to the 
drawing-room table; but it must not, therefore, be supposed that the value of 
the work is not intrinsic, for a great deal of new and valuable matter accompanies 
the plates, which are not faney sketches, but so individualized and life-like, that 
to mistake any species seems impossible. ‘The accessories of each are significant 
of site, soil, and season of growth, so that the botanist may study with advantage 
what the artist may inspect with admiration,”’—Morning Post.

“This work includes a wide range of genera, from the lichen to the oak, and 
by way of giving variety to a subject so commonplace, the several plants are sup- 
posed to tell their own stories, and describe their own family peeuliarities.’—Ad/as. 
“The fair authoress of this pretty volume has shown more than the usual 
good taste of her sex in the selection of her mode of conveying to the young 
interesting instruction upon pleasing topics. She bids them join in a ramble 
through the sylvan wilds, and at her command the fragile lichen, the gnarled oak, 
the towering beech, the graceful chestnut, and the waving poplar discourse elo- 
quently, and tell their respective histories and uses.’— Britannia.
