THE ESCULENT FUNGUSES OF ENGLAND ; a treatise on 
their History, Uses, Structure, Nutritious Properties, Mode 
of Cooking, Preserving, &c. By the Rev. Dr. Badham. 
“We lately noticed the beautiful fasciculi of Mrs. Hussey, illustrative of what 
is useful and interesting in the neglected class of Fungals. The present work, 
which owes the greater part of its figures to the same exquisite pencil, and some 
portion of the information it contains to the experience of Mrs. Hussey, will 
be acceptable either as an appendage to the Illustrations, or as containing in 
itself a mass of entertaining and valuable matter. It is scarcely possible that 
two works so beautifully illustrated, written with such evident interest in the 
subject, and in such a lively manner, should fail to draw attention to the 
objects they describe ; and the matter is in general so judiciously handled, that, 
with any ordinary precaution, there will be no danger of mistakes being made. 
The common Mushrooom is in some years extremely scarce, but there are many 
species abounding in our woods and meadows which may be substituted with 
safety ; and some, which, though usually rejected, are in many respects superior. 
The work of M. Roques has had the effect at Paris of removing much prejudice 
on the subject ; and we hope that many a group of Fungi, which would hitherto 
have been trampled under foot, will now, in consequence of the labours of 
$ Mrs. Hussey and Dr. Badham, be duly honoured.” — Gardeners’ Chronicle.

\ CONCHOLOGIA SYSTEMATICA ; or Complete System of Con- 
chology, in which the Lepades and Mollusca are described 
and classified according to their natural organization and habits, 
illustrated with 300 plates of upwards of 1,500 figures of 
Shells. By Lovell Reeve, F.L.S. 
? “ The text is both interesting and instructive ; many of the plates have ap- 
\ peared before in Mr. Sowerby’s works, hut from the great expense of collecting 
l them, and the miscellaneous manner of their publication, many persons will no 
> doubt gladly avail themselves of this select and classified portion, which also 
<1 contains many original figures.” — Athenceum.
