LINDLEY'S LADIES' BOTANY; or a Familiar Introduction to the Study of the Natural System of Botany, _new edition_, 12mo. _with numerous wood-cuts_, (published at 12s) _elegantly bound in cloth, with gilt back and sides_, 7s 1841 ---- the same, _with the plates coloured, extra gilt cloth_, 12s "The want of a popular Introduction to the study of Botany on the improved natural system has been completely removed by this volume of Dr. Lindley's. It is accurate in its science, graceful in its style, and familiar in its language; it enables the student to take some common, or easily accessible plant, as the representative of each natural family, to examine its several parts, to compare them with the plates, and learn their uses from the descriptions; when he has done this with care, and understood, and remembered what he has done, he will be a Botanist; if not a learned one, at least acquainted with all the fundamental facts of the science." _Athenæum._ "We are infinitely indebted to Professor Lindley for leading us so far in the study of Botany in a plain and intelligible way. A multitude of plates, a clear text, and a most judicious and agreeable arrangement, render this introduction to perhaps the most innocent and delightful of all studies, truly acceptable." _Literary Gazette._ MANTELL'S FOSSILS OF THE SOUTH DOWNS, or ILLUSTRATIONS of the GEOLOGY of SUSSEX, royal 4to. _with 42 plates_, (published at 3l 3s) _extra cloth bds_. 2l 2s 1822 "My attention was first drawn to these remains by Mr. Mantell, who has illustrated the subject in his excellent work on the Fossils of the South Downs." _Parkinson's Organic Remains._
