LODDIGES, this work could not have been produced.

It remains only for the Editor to state, that the botanical merits of this publication belong entirely to Professor LINDLEY, F.R.S. L.S. G.S. &c., and J. D. C. Sowerby, Esq. F. L.S. &c. The former determined the genera and the number of species to be arranged under them; prepared the specific characters, derivations, and accentuations; he either wrote or examined the notes; and he corrected the whole while passing through the press the latter, assisted by Mr. Don and Messrs. Loddiges, sought out the figures, dried specimens, or living plants, necessary for illustration, and made drawings of them on the blocks to be engraved, in that accurate and scientific manner, and with that appropriate taste, for which his late father was long so much distinguished, and for which he himself has not yet been equalled in this or in any country. All that the Editor can deem to be his own is the plan of the work; and if this be found not to have failed in answering those expectations which the state of science, in botany and the compilation of books, might have warranted in 1822, when this work was commenced, he will have obtained all the approbation to which he is entitled.
