The death of Mr. J. C. Loudon, which took place

at his house in Porchester Terrace, Bayswater, on Thursday, will be regretted by a wide circle. His extensive knowledge on agricultural and botanical subjects was refined by taste, and turned to the best account by an ac- tive mind ever on the alert to suggest improvement. His industry was prodigious, and the number of his works commensurate ; for although he had lost the right arm, he more than compensated for the loss by dictating at times to two amanuenses. His wife had attained some repute as an authoress in works of fiction before her marriage ; and she assisted her husband with her pen. Mr. Loudon was about sixty years of age.
