The Turin Academy was first established in 1759; the title of the Transactions was changed repeatedly till 1814, when an Italian title was adopted. In 1813, a new Series began with volume 22, and from that volume the Transactions have been continued to the present times. The great importance and value of the many excellent Mathematical papers is well known.

"Dr. Wallich was born a Dane, and served in early life in the Danish settlement of Serampore in India, until that place fell into the power of England. Like many other Danish officers there taken, he was permitted to enter our service, and in time rose to occupy the first botanical post in India-the superintendency of the Botanical Garden of Calcutta. In 1820 he began, in conjunction with Dr. Cary, to publish the Flora Indica.' He afterwards issued the 'Tentamen Flora Nepalensis.' His great work, Plantæ Asiatica Rariores," was published after his return to Europe, in three folio volumes, each containing 100 coloured plates. Dr. Wallich died at his house in Gower Street, on the 28th of April, in his 68th year."—Athenæum, May 6, 1854.

The publication price of copies coloured in the ordinary manner, on unglazed paper, and the grounds uncoloured, was £6. 16s 6d in boards, and of copies finished in the extra style of the present £10. 10s. “American Ornithology has uniformly presented a highly interesting subject of investigation to Naturalists and liberally educated persons of all countries, even when the means of gratifying their curiosity were new and difficult of attainment. Wilson's invaluable work removed the obstacles to this attractive study, and conferred on him an imperishable renown. His ardent and perspicuous mind enabled him to exhibit the truths he discovered, in that warm, lucid, and captivating language, which never fails to reach the heart of his reader; while the faithfulness of his delineations shew most advantageously the accuracy of his pencil.-We may say, without hesitation, that such a work as he has published in a new country, is still a desideratum in any part of Europe."

"The valuable Notes and interesting Life of Wilson added to this new edition are from the pen of Sir William Jardine, a Naturalist of congenial mind and feeling and talent. The plates are well executed, and the greatest possible attention has been paid to accuracy of colouring. Altogether we have rarely seen a more valuable work on Natural History, and not one more entertaining."-Lit. Gazette. "The most delightful collection of Ornithological Biographies with which we are acquainted." "This is by far the best edition of the American Ornithology, both on account of the beautiful plates and the most interesting notes of the editor.
