Both  works  liave  been  fully  noticed  before.  The  first  one  has  reached  the 
article  "  Gundelrebe"  (Glechoma  hederacea,  im.)  ;  the  latter  to  book  xxvii. 
The  value  of  both  becomes  even  more  apparent  as  the  publication 
progresses.

Ame7'ican  Medicinal  Plants;  an  illustrated  and  descriptive  guide  to  the 
A7nerican  plants  used  as  homce,op>athic  remedies  ;  their  history,  prepara-

An  illustrated  work  on  American  medicinal  plants  will  be  a  welcome 
addition  to  our  literature,  because  it  is  needed.  The  work  under  considera- 
tion will  not  contain  all  the  American  plants  to  which  medicinal  properties 
are  ascribed,  but  only  those  which  are  recognized  in  homoeopathic  practice ; 
yet  their  number  will  be  about  180  or  more,  and  the  work  will  therefore 
contain  many  plants  in  addition  to  those  recognized  in  the  United  States 
Pharmacopoeia.  Is  is  contemplated  to  publish  the  work  by  subscription  in 
about  thirty  numbers,  each  of  which,  we  suppose,  to  contain  six  plates.
