science, we can hardly expect to see again a botanist so widely and so well acquainted 
both with cryptogamic and phanerogamic botany, or one capable of doing so much for 
the advancement and illustration of both. 
“ Our narrative of Sir William Hooker’s scientific career and our estimate of his influ¬ 
ence has, we trust, clearly, though incidentally, informed our readers what manner of man 
he was. To the wide circle of botanists in which he has so long filled so conspicuous a 
place, to his surviving American friends and correspondents, some of whom have known 
him long and well,—and ‘ none knew him but to love him, nor named him but to praise 
it is superfluous to say that Sir William Hooker was one of the most admirable of men, 
a model Christian gentleman.”

1866. New Series. No. 29. London: Alfred Ive, 13, Burleigh Street, Strand.^ 
All pharmaceutists, and indeed every one interested in the progress of pharmacy in 
this country, will be pleased to know that this number contains an interesting nonce of 
our late lamented President, Jacob Bell, together with two autographic letters illustrated 
by some humorous original pen-and-ink sketches. The editor remarks that t e 
letters and sketches we give represent Jacob Bell in a new character—that of a hu¬ 
mourist, full of congeniality both as a writer and a caricaturist.” And he also.remarks, 
“We are told that the railway mania is coming again; if so, the publication ot his 
‘ Maxims for the Guidance of Railway Speculators, to Preserve them from Burning their 
Fingers,’ will be very welcome. ‘Prevention is better than Cure,’ as Jacob Bell says. 
We recommend all our readers to obtain a copy of this number.
