We perceive with salifaction, that the English reader is now

presented with a luminous view of Vegetable Physiology, after the natural methol of JUSSIEU, in M`GILLivaAv's translation of RICHARD'S b.:Le/Jul/is qf Botany.

The translation appears to be very well executed ; and we hays: little doubt that it will soon supersede the elementary work of Sir JAMES EDWARD SMITH, which has never appeared to us worthy of the tissue of that eminent botanist.
