style, while we retain the same machinery, we have also secured a stock 
of drawings, which for the beauty of the plants pictured and the elegance 
of their delineation, are quite equal to those in any former Volume» 
In the preparation of our readable matter, we are favoured with 
sufficient assistance to keep it varied, so as to embrace both the scientific 
and the practical ; and, likewise, we secure the customary supply of 
intelligence respecting novel plants, the metropolitan progress in culture, 
and all the current improvements that are of real value. 
Many of our Subscribers would no doubt be gratified by the repre- 
sentation and description of the large Fountain at Chatsworth. We 
shall follow up the practice of introducing these novelties whenever the 
opportunity is experienced. 
The thanks we owe to our numerous kind supporters, and which 
are not less genuine because they have been so frequently offered, are 
now most cordially renewed.
