Th e Horticultural Society was, in the course of last year, so 

 fortunate as to obtain a set of coloured drawings, representing 

 the most remarkable sorts of Citrons, Lemons, and Oranges, which 

 are, at present, cultivated in Italy. They were by the hand of 

 Dr. Sickler, son to the celebrated pomologist, John Volkmar 

 Sickle r. Dr. Sickler had, during a residence of six years in 

 Italy, paid particular attention to those fruits, and made the 

 drawings alluded to ; which, while he was in England, last sum- 

 mer, he was induced to transfer to the Horticultural Society of 

 London, chiefly from a wish, to have them deposited in a place, 

 where they would be taken care of, and might probably be con- 

 verted to some useful purpose. They are a valuable acquisition, 

 and furnish the collection of the Society with what could not 

 easily have been procured, in any other manner. They bear 

 the stamp of accuracy, and fidelity to their originals ; and in this 

 respect, do great credit to the author.— Upon the subject of these 

 drawings, Dr. Sickler published, in the year 1815, at Weimar, a 

 vol. in. * B
