The volume contains one hundred Illustrations in wood, cut 
by persons eminent in that branch of business. 
The coloured plates, of which there are nearly fifty, were 
drawn and coloured by some of the first artists. The plants repre- 
sented are all really valuable, and some of them entirely new. 
The great and increasing demand for this work, which has far 
exceeded the Author’s expectations, stimulates him, at the close of 
this first volume, to persevere in his humble but constant endea- 
vours to render the Magazine of Botany a sure guide to every 
admirer and cultivator of flowers.
