653. Catalogue of the United States plants in the Department of Agriculture.

The above is the title of a very rare pamphlet found in a few libraries. It has no value except as a literary and botanical curiosity. The author was at one time employed as botanist at the United States Agricultural Department, and prepared a list of plants, pp 27, which was distributed as a circular, but was never printed in any government publication. It is said to have been suppressed in consequence of the very numerous errors it contains. On pp. 26, 27 is a list of 72 fungi, apparently from Missouri, 31 of them said to be new species. There is no title-page, and the date, which is not printed but written, is Nov. 1, 1866.

In place of the note following title no. 174, substitute the following title:

174. Icones Fungorum hucusque cognitorum. Abbildungen der pilze und schwaemme. fo. Vol. I.-VI. Prague. 1837-1854.

A work with figures and descriptions of many species of fungi. Vol. VI., published after Corda's death, was edited

by J. B. Zobel, and contains a small number of species from North America. A considerable part of the edition of the first five volumes was destroyed in the great fire at Prague, and complete sets of the original edition are now very rare. The remaining copies of vol. VI. were purchased by R. Friedlaender & Sohn, of Berlin, who have reproduced the first five volumes by photo-lithography, and most copies now offered for sale have only the sixth volume of the original edition.

Bd. iii. is in two parts, each with a separate title-page, pagination and register; bd. vii. is also in two parts with separate title-pages, but the pagination and register is continuous. Bd. i., iii.-vi. have "beilagen" paged separately. Bd. viii. should have "beilagen," but they are wanting, and the volume itself seems to be incomplete. This vol. has a second title-page "Staatsgeschichte des letzten krieges. ier bd. 1767. It was intended to publish three volumes more, but bd. ix. abth. 1 was all that ever appeared.

"A solid, laborious and meritorious Work, of its kind; extremely extensive (9 voll. 4to, some of which are double and even treble), mostly in the undigested, sometimes in the quite uncooked, or raw condition; perhaps about a fifth part of it consists of Documents' proper, which are skip. pable.

"His book is full of a certain talent, & real opulence of mind; but is defaced by sediments of imperfect moral qualities (pride, anger, vainglory too traceable in it, tho' well varnished over), which considerably pervert (as one may well see) the conclusions he arrives at, and render his judgements in all cases uncertain as to their coincidence with the truth of the thing, or their resilience therefrom, if too hateful a thing! Scepticism (in war itself, much more on all other arts & subjects), this, with a dash of revolutionary sentimentalism, may be described as the result he has finally come to.

"His Book (Lettres Familières et Autres, all turning on Friedrich), which came out in 1763, at the height of Friedrich's fame, and was much read, is still freely cited by His. torians as an Authority. But the reading of a few pages sufficiently intimates that these 'Letters never can have gone through a terrestrial Post-office; that they are an afterthought, composed from vague memory and imagination. Not to be cited 'freely' at all, but sparingly and under conditions. They abound in small errors, in misdates, mistakes; small fictions even, and impossible pretensions: - foolish mortal, to write down his bit of knowledge in that form!" Frederick the Great, ii. 426.

Vol. v.,-wholly occupied with Friedrich II.

The truth is, Friedrich never took the least special notice of bim: merely employed and promoted him, when expedient for both parties; and he really was a man of considerable worth, in an extremely crude form."
