Ee-issue of Professor Harvey's Great Work on British Seaweeds. 



PHYCOLOGIA BRITANNICA: 



A HISTOEY OP BRITISH SEAWEEDS. 



BY 



WILLIAM HENRY HARVEY, M.D., M.R.I.A., 



Keeper of the Herbarium of the University of Dublin, and 

 Professor of Botany to the Royal Dublin Society. 



A re-issue of this important work being called for, the Proprietors have 

 arranged for its publication in monthly half-crown Parts, each containing 7 

 coloured plates with text. The work to be completed in 50 Parts. Parts I. 

 to IV. are now ready. 



Complete copies in 4 Yols., arranged systematically, may still be had, 

 price £6. 65. 



These magnificent volumes contain a coloured figure, of the natural size, of 

 every species of British Seaweed, with highly magnified views of its structure 

 and fructification. An entire plate is devoted to each species, the number of 

 plates in the work amounting to three hundred and sixty. 



"The ' History of British Seaweeds' we can most faithfully recommend for its scientific, 

 its pictorial, and its popular value ; the professed botanist will find it a work of the highest 

 character, while those who desire merely to know the names and history of the lovely plants 

 which they gather on the sea-shore, will find in it the faithful portraiture of every one of 

 them." — Annals and Magazine of Natural History. 



"The drawings are beautifully executed by the author himself, on stone, the dissections 

 carefully prepared, and the whole account of the species drawn up in such a way as cannot 

 fail to be instructive, even to those who are well acquainted with the subject. The greater 

 part of our more common Algse have never been illustrated in a manner agreeable to the 

 present stage of Algology." — Gardeners' 1 Chronicle. 



" The drawings — admirably true to nature — are executed in a most masterly and taste- 

 ful style ; and the magnified portions of the fructification of the frond and of the stem will 

 be of the greatest possible service." — Edinburgh Witness. 



" No student of this branch of Botany can fancy that he knows what is known and re- 

 ceived respecting a seaweed until he knows what Professor Harvey has said about it." — 

 Athenceum:
