est and Garden Botany is now used; but we have no definite opinion 
or predilection on the subject, and we think it quite possible 
that so much change would be necessary to make the "Manual" adapted 
to the middle class of high schools and academies, that it would 
be better to make the new Flora which will form a part of the 
School and Field Book, entirely independent of the Revised Manual. 
We hope to have some valuable suggestions on all these points from 
our correspondence with our agents and our friends among the teach- 
ers. 
Yours truly.
