IL W. J. Mooker, The Journal of Botany, being a IL Series of the 'Botanical

[Title changed from vol. II upwards to: The Journal of Botany; containing figures and descriptions

Beginning with this 'Journal of Botany 1834 — 42' the former practice (still prevailing in the 'Botanical 
Miscellany 1830—33') viz. to publish plates with letterpress of new or interesting plants, has been abandoned, as the 
'Icones Plantarum', issued since 1837, [see page 626] seem to have been founded for that purpose. The 'Journal' 
now contains only papers, chiefly floristic and systematic, and biographies, reviews etc. by all leading English 
Botanists and some foreign ones ofthat time, as by Aldridge, Andrews, Arnott, Babington, Ben- 
tham, Berkeley, Clarke, Dalzell, Dickie, Druinmond, Edgeworth, Engelmann, Gardiner, 
Gardner, Graham, Gray, Griffith, Hance, Harvey, W. J. Hooker, J. D. Hooker, Jack, Law- 
rence, Lindley, Lowe, Martins, Meisner, Miers, Miquel, Mitten, Moore, F. Mueller, 
Planchon, Schomburgk, Seemann, J. Smith, Spruce, Taylor, Thomson, Thwaites, Wat- 
son, Wight and others. — Many important contributions to Botany have appeared in the pages of Hooker's 
Journal during 1834 — 57 which at the time was the only strictly scientific periodical on Botany published in 
English language. (Seemann's Journal commenced only in 1863.) 
III. W. J. Hooker, Companion to the Botanical Magazine, being a Journal, con- 
taining such interesting botanical information, as does not come within the prescribed 
limits of the Magazine; with occasional figures. 2 volumes. London, Gurtis, 1835 — 36. 
Large-Octavo. 384 and 383 pages with 3 portraits (of Douglass, Cunningham and 
Fräser) and 32 coloured copperplates in Octavo and Quarto (only Plate 1, 21, 30 — 32 
are piain). Original cloth. (Publ. price about 4 
No indices published. Many important, specially floristic papers, by eminent authors (names see above). 
— These two volumes have in reality nothing to do (though they are called 'Companion') with the famous 
'Botanical Magazine' which is a mere collection of coloured plates — with letterpress — of 'the most orna- 
mental foreign plants', published since 1787, first by W. Curtis, then by J.Sims, S. Curtis, W.J.Hook er 
and now by J. D. Hooker.
