F.R.S. *Demy Svo, 152 pp., 12 Coloured Plates, 12*. 
A lively classical treatise, written with considerable epigrammatic humour, 
with the view of showing that we have upwards of 30 Species of Fungi abounding 
in our woods capable of affording nutritious and savoury food, but which, from 
ignorance or prejudice, are left to perish ungathered. " I have indeed grieved," 
says the Author, " when reflecting on the straitened condition of the lower 
orders, to see pounds of extempore beefsteaks growing on our oaks, in the shape 
of Fistulina hepatica ; Putf-balls, which some have not inaptly compared to 
sweetb'-viad ; Hi/dna, as good as oysters ; and Agaricus deliciosus, reminding us of 
teu'^er lamb-kidney." Superior coloured Figures of the Species are given from 
Wg pencil of Mr. Fitch.

This beautifully-illustrated work is the production of a lady who, being an 
accomplished artist, occupied the leisure of many years in accumulating a port- 
folio of exquisite drawings of the more attractive forms and varieties of British 
Fungi. The publication was brought to an end with the 140th Plate by her 
sudden decease. The Figures are rnostly of the natural size, carefully coloured 
by hand.
