    A 1) D R E S S. The fame of De Candolle, as a learned and philosophic Botanist, has been too long and justly established in this country, and throughout the scientific world, to require any eulogy. His botanical* writings are universally admitted to be of the highest order, and it has been a subject of surprise and regret that no edition of his elementary works has appeared in an English dress. This desideratum it will be the Editor’s endeavour to supply, by publishing, in a form to suit the more general class of purchasers, this eminent Author’s compre¬ hensive Work on Vegetable Organography, to appear in Monthly Parts, price 2s. Qd. each. The Work will be printed in a clear bold type, on fine paper ; each Part to contain two or more Plates, illustrative of the minute parts of vegetable anatomy, and of the various modifications which the organs of plants present, &:c. &c. It will be completed in 16 Parts, forming two handsome octavo volumes, and, it is hoped, will be found to be the most complete and comprehensive, as well as useful work, that has appeared on this branch of Botanical Science in the English language. N.B. This Work will he followed hj a translation of the same Author s Work on Vegetable Physiology.
