REVIEWS OF NEW PUBLICATIONS, 
3 93 
The essays, are ever fresh, and will bear reading almost any number of times. 
We had marked several passages for criticism, but are obliged to conclude the 
present notice without further comment. We may, however, observe that we 
scarcely know any author better calculated to write on Natural History for all 
classes of readers than our amiable neighbour Charles Waterton, Esq. 
The Bee-Keeper s Manual ; or Practical Hints on the Management and com¬ 
plete Preservation of the Honey Bee, and in particular in Collateral Hives. By 
Henry Taylor. London : R. Groomhridge , 0 , Panyer-Alley, Paternoster-Bow. 
1838. pp. 78. 12mo. 
We have been much gratified by the perusal of this unassuming little volume. 
It is no compilation “ got up” to fill the pocket of either author or publisher, 
being, on the contrary, a manual of the author’s apiarian experience, supported, 
where desirable, by the opinions and facts of the most accredited writers on the 
subject. Every particular that can be desired by the young Bee-keeper, relative 
to the humane system, as developed in Nutt’s collateral hives, will here be 
found in a compact and readable volume, illustrated by wood-cuts. It emanates 
from the press of Messrs. Taylor, of Red-Lion-Court. 
Manual of British Botany ; in which the orders and genera are arranged and 
described according to the Natural System of De Candolle ; with a Series of 
Analytical Tables for the Assistance of the Student of the Plants indigenous to, 
or commonly cultivated in. Great Britain. By D. C. Macreight, M.D., F.R.C.P., 
&c. &c. London: John Churchill, Princes-Street, Soho. 1838. pp. 296. post 8vo. 
It always gives us sincere pleasure to meet with new books for the assistance 
of the student—books which, without advancing Natural History immediately, 
will undoubtedly effect the same desirable object indirectly. Since, however, 
Dr. Macreigi-it, by the copiousness of his title-page—transcribed above—has 
judiciously abridged the labour of the reviewer, we need not expatiate on the 
volume further than by observing that, being a convenient pocket-volume, neatly 
printed, and carefully composed, it cannot but prove a valuable guide to the 
student of British plants. It is dedicated to Earl Stanhope, President of the 
Medico- Botanical Society. 
A Flora of the Neighbourhood of Reigate , Surrey ; containing the Flowering 
Plants and Ferns. By George Luxford, A.L.S., F.B.S.E. London: John Van 
Voorst , Paternoster-Row; W. Allingham, Reigate. 1838. pp. 118. post 8vo.
