In a note, at the bottom of the above list, (which was furnished by 

 the learned Professor,) he says, "We have, of course, removed more 

 than a single specimen of the above ; but I have not thought it neces- 

 sary to state the measurements of more than one of a kind." 



The idea, which is given in the text, of this meritorious horticultural 

 effort by Dr Graham, is given from the impression which I received of 

 it, on visiting the Botanic Garden in June 1823, when the oldest of the 

 trees had not been longer than a twelvemonth in the ground ; and this 

 effort appeared the more admirable from the circumstance, of which I 

 was at the same time informed, that only one, or two at most, had died 

 in the first season. On visiting the garden again in July 1827, I was 

 both pleased and surprised to observe, that the more delicate plants, 

 such as the Magnolia, the perfumed Cherry, the Arbutus, &c. had suc- 

 ceeded the best, which showed the extraordinary care and judgment 

 with which, on account of shelter, they had been massed up with others, 

 and also the extraordinary attention which had been bestowed upon 

 them afterwards. Of the Arbutus there is a noble specimen, supposed 

 to be one of the largest in Britain. 



The ordinary forest-trees, on the other hand, such as the Lime, the
