W. J. Hooker, D.C.L., E.R.S. Second Edition. 
‘‘ 1 fl this work we have the first results of Dr. Hooker’s botanical mission 
to India. The announcement is calculated to startle some of our readers when 
they know that it was only last January twelvemonths that the Doctor arrived 
in Calcutta. That he should have ascended the Himalaya, discovered a mim- 
ber of plants, and that they should he published in England in an almost 
UNEauALLED STYLE OE MAGNIFICENT ILLUSTKATION, in less than eighteen 
months — is one of the marvels of our time.” — Aflienceum. 
“ We have here a botanical work, in large folio, consisting of ten magnificent 
and exquisitely coloured plates, from drawings after nature, with explanatory 
text, giving a detailed and critical description of not fewer than eight new Indian 
species of Rhododendrons, each one more magnificent than the other in flower 
and foliage ; and also a general exposition of all the species that have come under 
the author’s observation in the lofty regions of his present tour.” — Literary Gazette. 
“ A most beautiful example of fine drawing and skilful colouring, while the 
letter-press furnished by the talented author possesses very high interest. Of 
the species of Rhododendron which he has found in his adventurous journey, 
some are quite unrivalled in magnificence of appearance.” — Gardeners' Chronicle.
