Eleven numbers of this work have appeared, the last of which is the 
only one we have seen. It contains two coloured plates, one of a tulip, 
and the other of a new Kennedya, both of which are, with regard to 
execution, done very well. We cannot say whether this number may 
be regarded as a fair criterion of the merit of the work. We fancy 
not, otherwise it would require no little hardihood to offer it to the 
public at one shilling per number. Who may be the conductor, we 
cannot tell; he has not chosen to make us acquainted with his name. 
He can hardly be a practical man, for the work is any thing but 
what by its title it professes to be. So far as we are able to judge, 
the number contains no really useful information. 
If tbe work at all influences the public mind, (which we apprehend 
is not the case) it certainly will not add much honour to the Metro-
