Excerpt from The Horticultural Register, and General Magazine, of All Useful and Interesting Discoveries Connected With Natural History and Rural Subjects, Vol. 2
Our very best thanks are due to those of our friends, who have so kindly interested themselves in recommending the work during the past year. All we can say is, that we hope to continue to deserve a continuance of the same favours throughout the present year. By making every succeeding number as interesting and complete as possible. According to the suggestion of a correspondent, volume first, page 225, we intend in our Naturalists Calendar, giving three or four small figures of British plants every month, to assist those Botanical students in collecting a herbarian, who have it not in their power to purchase any other work on the subject; also to those who wish to study British Choncology, and have not the means of purchasing a work on the subject, we intend in the same calendar to give one or two of our land or water shells every month. This we think will bean acquisition to the young British Naturalist, as itwill place something more. Within his reach than heretofore he was able to obtain. By thus using means to meet the varied wants of the risingrace of gardeners, they will have in a few years a large store of knowledge, which under other circumstances, might have never reached their ears. Feeling conscious of the rising importance of the work, we intend to proceed with redoubled exertions, being as sured that we shall meet with every encouragement fiom an enlight ened public, and have our most sanguine expectations, more than realized.
