A POPTJLAE HISTORY OP BRITISH FERNS 
and the Allied Plants; comprising the Club Mosses, Pepper- 
worts, and Horsetails. By Thomas Moore, F.L.S., Curator 
of the Botanic Garden, Chelsea. Second Edition, 22 coloured 
Plates, including figures of all the species. lO.?. 6^. 
*‘Mr. Moore’s ‘ Popular History of British Perns’ forms one of the nu- 
merous elegant and instructive books by which Mr. Keeve has endeavoured 
to popularize the study of Natural History. In the volume before us Mr. 
Moore gives a clear account of the British Ferns, with directions for their 
cultivation, accompanied by numerous coloured plates.” — Spectator. 
“We have rarely, if ever, seen a pubhcation relating to plants where the 
object aimed at is more fuUy accomphshed than in this elegant volume.” — 
Soolcer’s Journal. 
A POPULAR HISTORY OF BRITISH LICHENS; 
comprising an Account of their Structure, Eeproduction, Use, 
Distribution, and Classification. By W. Lauder Lindsay, 
M.D., Fellow of the Botanical and Royal Physical Societies of 
Edinburgh, etc. 22 Plates, 392 Figures. 10<?. ^d. coloured. 
“The first attempt to popularize a very difficult branch of botanical science. 
The twenty-two plates contain illustrations, beautifully coloured, of no less 
than 392 subjects, and it is impossible to glance over these likenesses of fa- 
miliar objects, placed side by side, with elaborate illustrations of their struc- 
ture and physiology, without acquiring a new interest in those humble por- 
tions of the vegetable kingdom .” — Liverpool Courier. 
A POPULAR HISTORY OF BRITISH MOSSES; 
Their Structure, Fructification, Arrangement, and General Dis- 
tribution. By R. M. Stark. 20 coloured Plates. 10^. ^d. 
“ Mr. Stark has given as fuU and instructive an account of our wild Mosses 
as can well be desired. It is founded avowedly upon the long labours of Sir 
WiUiam Hooker in the same direction, and this alone guarantees the sound- 
ness of the author’s systematic views. All the genera and species of ‘ Moss,’ 
as the term is understood by botanists, are clearly but succinctly described 
in the Enghsh language ; and to aid the learner in understanding the sub- 
ject, we find twenty coloured plates admirably executed by Mr. Fitch.” — 
G-ardeners' Chronicle.
