The Philadelphia editions of this important work have had a wide circulation in the several States of the Union, proving how exten sively the taste of the public is turned to the study of Arboriculture. The whole of the sheets of the last imprint were destroyed by a fire at the bindery, whither they had been sent for collation; but for tunately the original French copper-plates were in another building. This has enabled the new publishers to issue the work in a much improved style, and has allowed opportunity for additional notes and remarks. These might have been more extended; but it was thought best not to swell the work beyond a reasonable charge.
