The Wood-cuts are numerous, and consist of illustrations of 
many systems of heating by hot water, in order that our Readers 
may try the various modes recommended, or already in use — Plans 
and Sections of Plant-houses of various kinds, Machines, Instru- 
ments, Utensils, Plants, &c. &c., which will be found a great 
assistance to all interested in Flower Gardening. 
The Coloured Plates represent Plants all very valuable, some 
entirely new, and are executed in a superior manner. 
The Author hopes that the improvements in contemplation 
for the third volume of the Magazine of Botany, will enhance its 
value still more, and that the Work will progressively improve, as 
its extensive sale shall render him able to carry his plans into 
effect.
