Excerpt from Paxton's Magazine of Botany, and Register of Flowering Plants, 1848, Vol. 14
In the present volume scientific subjects occupy a prominent position. Amongst these may be mentioned articles on Temperature, Meteorology, Characteristics of the Seasons, Winter Repose of Plants, and Functions of Foliage. The practical directions also are liberally interspersed, especially relative to such plants as are considered difficult to cultivate; indeed, it has been our aim to blend Science and Art so intimately together that reasons for every direction will be apparent to all our readers. And as it is our earnest wish to maintain inviolable that good feeling and mutual understanding which has for so many years been established, we shall always feel the greatest pleasure in availing ourselves of every facility for rendering the Magazine of Botany still more extensively useful: and thus relying upon a continuation of the kindness which has hitherto been so liberally bestowed, we again commence our labours with renew ed energy and delight.
