of the many important medical plants of our country, most

in which the greatest accuracy is studied. The plates are coloured
under his direction; and are true imitations of nature. The letter-press

worth describing. The economical uses of the plants are also particularly

assist the tyro, and with a hope too, that it would be more likely to
invite the attention of those to the study of botany, who might not be
