to tlie«e doj)artmeiits of knowle(lj>;e. 4.—By tlie formation of a Library, Herbarium, &c. for 
the use of the Members. There i.s a Meeting every Wednesday evening, at the Botanical Gar¬ 
den, for the |)urpose of mutual instruction, either by conversation,—by reading lectures, or 
papers,—or by exhibiting specimens, &c. The subscription is (me shilling per month.” 
Any further particulars may be obtained from the Secretary, Mr. Baxter, the excellent and 
indefatigable botani.«t, with whom the Society mainly originated, assisted by some members of 
the University, and gentlemen of the city. There are already above sixty Members, among 
whom we observe the names of the Professor of Chemistry, the Reader in Mineralogy ana 
Geology, the Librarian of the Bodlean Library, and many other members of the University and 
professional gentlemen, as well as practical gardeners.—There can, therefore, be do doubt what- 
ever of the success of the Society, and we think it likely to become eminently useful. 
MEDICO.BOTANICAL SOCIETY. 
The following Resolutions, signed by the Secretary, have lately been circulated by order of 
this Society:—“At a Special Meeting of the Council of the Medico-Botanical Society of 
London, holden on Friday, the 6th day of January, 1832, Humphrey Gibbs, Esq,, F.H.S., 
'I’reasnrer, in the chair. It was Resolved,—That the Gold Medal of the Society should be of¬ 
fered for the best Essay in the English, French, German, or Latin Language, bn the question 
‘What is the vegetable substance which could be employeii with the greatest success in CholeraP 
And that the Silver Medal of the Society should be offered for the best Essay ‘ On the analysis 
of any vegetable substance, the proximate principle of which may be employed in the cure of

‘‘.4nd it was further Resolved,—That as the que.stion, ‘What is the vegetable substance which

“That each Essay shall be accompanied by a sealed paper, containing the names and addres-s 
of the author, and marked in the same manner as the Essay; and that each Essay to which 
a Medal is not awarded, shall, according to the wish of the author, be restored to him, or sub., 
mitted to the Council, in order to its being read at a General Meeting.
