Natural History of New YorkState— -Continued. 
to the sea-board, renders this department peculiarly interesting and valuable, from the large num¬ 
ber of species which it embraces within its limits. 
“ 2nd. Botany, in two volumes, t*y John Torrey. This part embraces full descriptions of all the 
plants of the State, with remarks upon their habits, modes of growth, the means of cultivating and 
improving valuable plants, and of destroying the noxious or troublesome. The work is illustrated 
by figures of about 100 of the most important and interesting species. 
“3rd. Mineralogy and Chemical, Analysis, by Lewis C. Beck. The Mineralogical Department 
gives a full account of the Minerals and Ores of the State, their analysis, important uses, &c. ; 
together wifh an interesting account of the Saline and other Mineral Springs of the State, many 
of which have obtained so much celebrity. The work contains a large amount of practical inform¬ 
ation on every part of the subject. 
“4th. Geology and Palaeontology, by W. W. Mather, Ebenezer Emmons, Lardner Vanuxem, 
and James Hall. The Geological department, 6 vols., embraces a full account of the Primary and 
New York Systems, or of those from the oldest-known rocks to the carboniferous or coal-bearing 
period, together with the new red sand-stone and tertiary. The work is illustrated by numerous 
interesting sections, view r s of scenery, &c., with woodcuts of more than 300 species of fossils 
characteristic of the strata. The rocks here described, together with their fossils, being little 
known in this country, and far more complete than the same formations in Europe, will render 
these volumes exceedingly interesting and important. This is the first work in the coun¬ 
try where any systematic description of the older stratified rocks is given ; and from the circum¬ 
stance that these are better developed, and the series more complete, in New York than in any 
part of the known world, it forms the most interesting work yet published upon the popular 
science of Geology. The volumes on Palaeontology contain full descriptions, with engraved 
figures, of more than 500 species of fossils, principally, those found in the rocks intervening be¬ 
tween the Primary and the Coal formation. The fossils of each particular rock or group are 
figured collectively, in the order of the series which they illustrate. The importance and interest 
in this portion of the Geological department is, if possible, superior to all the others; giving a 
large number of entirely new forms of these ancient denizens of our globe, with their geographical 
distribution and geological rang'e. 
|f! 5th. Agriculture, by Ebenezer Emmons. 5 vols.
