A NOMENCLATURE OF BRITISH BIRDS, 
Intended for labelling Birds and their Eggs. By Henry Doubleday, Esq. 
London: Frederick Westley and A. H. Davis, Stationers’-hall Court. 
Just Published, No. I. for JANUARY, 1837, and to be continued Monthly, (price 2s. 6d. 
Large, and Is. 6d. Small) of 
THE BOTANIST, 
Containing accurately coloured Engravings of Tender and Hardy ORNAMENTAL 
PLANTS, adapted to Garden Culture; with descriptions, scientific and popular, in¬ 
tended to convey both moral and intellectual gratification. 
Conducted bv B. MAUND,F.L.S., Author of The Botanic Garden , assisted by the REV. 
J.S. HENSLOW,M.A.,F.L.S., &c., Regius Professor of Botany in the University of 
Cambridge. 
Each Number will contain Four Plates, drawn and coloured from Nature, with botani¬ 
cal descriptions; geographical, physiological, and popular notices ; the most approved me¬ 
thods of culture ; and, in fact, every particular required to be known either by the botanist 
or cultivator of a Garden. In addition to this, the work will be so illustrated with expla¬ 
natory Cuts, as to render it valuable, by reason of its intelligible application of the science 
to every subject figured. 
A comprehensive Botanical Dictionary of English and Latin terms will be written for 
the work by Professor Henslow, and illustrated by Wood Cuts. This addition, it is pre¬ 
sumed, will be of the first importance, since no such work exists either in the English or 
Latin language. A portion of it is given with each large-paper Number. 
Plants which have been figured in Maund’s Botanic Garden will never appear in The 
Botanist; hence the two works may be taken as companions, without the purchaser being 
encumbered with duplicate plates of the same plant. 
It is probable that no Work ever met more immediate and unm J xed commendation from 
the Public Press than The Botanist , as the following very concise Extracts, from the most 
respectable Publications will shew :— 
“ Such a work was much wanted. The coloured plates of the plants are beautifully 
executed, and the whole style and getting up of the work is excellent, while the price is 
moderate.”— Monthly Repository. 
« For medical students it wiil constitute a valuable companion, when pursuing their stu¬ 
dies, and a pleasing manual to refer to Avhen settled in practice. The cheapness puts it 
within the reach of every one. We do not know any work better calculated to inspire a 
love for Botany, and gratify it when awakened.”— Medical Gazette. 
“ A work from which we can safely augur the utmost popular service to the delightful 
science of Botany, and to its followers. The plan is excellent, and the illustrations finely 
executed. Every thing is made intelligible to every body. To its well-known conduc¬ 
tors let us merely say, Go on as you have begun.”— Literary Gazette. 
« The engraving and the colouring of the flowers are really excellent specimens of the 
art. The size of this publication is most convenient, and the numbers will, hereafter, bind 
up into beautiful volumes. We would recommend our readers to become early subscri¬ 
bers to this work.”— Metropolitan Magazine. 
u Such a manual cannot but be acceptable to many already engaged in the study or cul¬ 
tivation of plants; while, for those who have yet to begin these interesting pursuits, let 
them take this as their companion.”— Records of Science. 
« A new periodical, entitled The Botanist , has just appeared. The figures of ornamental 
plants are beautifully coloured, and the descriptions happily combine scientific, popular-* 
and moral instruction.”— Congregational Magazine.
