Of this great undertaking, the present volumes, of more than a thousand

not only from the vast collections of Australian plants brought to this country 
by various botanical travellers, and preserved in the herbaria of Kew and of the 
British Museum, including those hitherto unpublished of Banks and Solander, 
of Captain Cook’s first Voyage, and of Brown in Flinders’, but from the very 
extensive and more recently collected specimens preserved in the Government 
Herbarium of Melbourne, under the superintendence of Dr. Ferdinand Mueller. 
The descriptions are written in plain English, and are masterpieces of accuracy 
and clearness.
