The awe to which plants we applied has been reexaminod
with pest care, and prbelpity re-written. This part was ori-
ginally ended es a morts sketch of so vast and import-
ant a subject, and to troth it la little more even now. It 1.,
however, materially eslarged, and the author hopes, better arranged.

opinion has great weight with bits, to introduce among the

by the Rev. B. J. Berkeley, who furnished the list of lungs* and
by Mr. Bentham, to whom he is indebted for those of Leguminous
and Labiate plants, and of ligworta. The reader will perceive that,
according to the custom of botanists, the names of genera which the
author adopts arc printed In Boman letters, and succeeded by others
indented and printed in Italics. The latter are either synonyms, of
subgenera which do not at present appear to be of importance enough
to be regarded es true genera.
In computing the number of species, attention has been paid
n^t only to publialied statements, but also to such appearances of wide-
scribed savica as the author's own herbarium indicatea, asaistol oc-
casionally by a little guess-wort:, where Natural Orders have not been
recently examined with our, or where species have been notoriously
Mundell upon trifling and unimportant characters. Ile dots not,
however, doubt that the numbers are in all oars ton low. All they
pretend to is an near an approach to truth as, under existing circum-
stances, I. possible.
The illustrations are partly original, partly derived from
other authorities. It would hare been mere useful if a larger number
could have been introduced; butcostly embellialtmentaare nut ponaibie
beyond a certain limit. :should the precut work be favourably re-
ceived, others may be inserted hereafter In the numeroua blanks that
bare been left among the pages.

Finally, the artificial analysis of Orders given in former
editions has vain been improved, and is now adapted to the volume
in its new dreg. It is, however, no longer placed at the beginning of
the work, butswill be found immediately before the indices. It has
been gratifying to the author to know, that this table is habitually
consulted by some of the most experienced bobwhite.
There is still another point in which the author has endea-
voured to effect Nome improvement, and that is, the nomenclature. Since
the days of Linnieus, who was the great refotmer of this part of Natural
History, a host of strange names, Inharmonious, sesquipedalian, or bar-
barous, have flood their way into botany, and, by the stern but almost
indispensable laws of priority, are retained there. It is full time, in-
deed, that some stop should be put to this torrent of s vage sounda,
when we find such word+ as Calucechinus, Oredgenesa, Finaunrina,
linmenenninikosia, Grayenhoretia, Andrzejofskya, Miehelioferia,
Mo-
nactineirma, Pleuriechismatypus, and hundreds of others like them,
thrust into the records of botany without even an apology. It such
intolerable words arc to be used, they should surely be reserved for
plants an repulsive as themselves, and instead of libelling races so fair
as flowers, or noble as trees, they ought to be confined to climes, mil-
dews, blights, and hochtools. The author has been anxious to do
something towards alleviating this grievous evil, which at lewd need
not be permitted to eat into the healthy form of botany clothed in the
English language.
No one who has had experience in the progress of botany,
as a science, ran doubt that it has been more impeded in this country
by the repulsive appearance of the names which it employs than by any
other cause whatever; and that, in fact, this circunumutor has proved
an invincible obstacle to its becoming the serious occupation of those
who are unacquainted with the learned languages, or who, being se-
quainted with them, are tietidious about euphony, end Greek or Latin
purity. So strongly has the author become impressed with the
truth of this view, that on several occasions he has en-
deavoured to substitute English names for the Latin or Greek
compounds, by which the genera of plants are distinguished.
Upon turning over the late volumes of the Botanical Rcgt,:er many
such instances will be found, in imitation of the well-known and usual
English words, Iloundatongue, Lomestrife, bugloss, tiummort, Hare-
bell, he. He cannot, however, toast of any Meccas in these feeble
attempts at reforming s great evil ; sor, perhaps, ought he to hare
expected it. If such English names are not universally adopted, it in
to be siripected that the eirctunatanee is traceable to the indifference of
the public to partial and inconsiderable changes, which arc unseen in
the ocean of botanical nomenclature. That they are important must
be admitted ; that the person most ivirekss as to the difficulties el
articulation would prefer to speak of a Fringe Martha rather than of a
Chamailaucittra, or of a Gritherry than of a Commostaphylis,
probably be allowed on all hands ; and therefore the author does not
coder discouragement at failure; but would rather invite sugges-
tions as to more probable means of mamas. Mere translation is nei-
ther necessary nor desirable in all cum. Many Latin names have,
from custom, been selopted into the English language, and no wisdom
would be shown in attempting to alter such words as Dshlia,
Crocus, lath, or even Orchia. Other. again are so caddy
sounded, and so much in hareem with the English tongue, that no-
thing could be gained by interfering with them ; such ea Pewee, Hu-
gonia, Parkin, Mimosa, Arbutus, be. And, finally, there is a large
clam of scientific words which am best Engtished by an alteration of
their foreign teminatiow; for example. Melanthium ma be
to Melanth ; D mandate to Dem to nanth; Lerythis ; My-
remermum to Myrosperm ; and such an alteration woul cam
pommel the great advantage of rendering English plural termination.

The Epoque states that the Council of Ministers,
having considered the petition presented to the King
from Joseph Henri, praying for a commutation of
the sentence pronounced by the Court of Peers, it
was determined, after a long consultation, that the
sentence should be carried into effect.
