A FLORA OF SHROPSHIRE,
By the Rev. W. A. LEIGHTON, B.A., F.B.S.E.
We cannot too strongly recommend it to the notice of our readers. For though as a local Flora, it professes to treat only of the plants of a single county, that county produces more than half the number of species of flowering plants indigenous to the Kingdom. The descriptions are unusually full and carefully drawn up. We have good ground for saying that the Flora of Shropshire should be in the hands of every one who feels interested in the botanical productions of the British Isles.—Phytologist.
We look upon the appearance of this work as being a great step in advance in the progress of British indigenous botany—for although it is professedly confined to the description of the plants of a single county, yet as clearly shewing the incorrectness of the idea “that a New Flora in the true sense or the term has become impossible,”—it is indispensable to every botanist who desires to obtain a thorough knowledge of our native plants.—Jardine’s Annals of Natural History.
Highly interesting work. The “Index to the Localities,” where each plant may be found in Shropshire, is very elaborate.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
We were struck with the very correct manner in which he (Mr. Leighton) has systematically arranged, the perspicuous accuracy with which he has described, and the discriminating tact with which he has distinguished all and every of our Salopian flowering herbs and trees; the whole interspersed frequently with their medicinal and chemical powers, ancient and modern customs, local anecdotes, scraps of poetry and fanciful illustrations. Works of this kind, though learned, are too often dry and monotonous; but as regards this, we may truly say to the botanist—indocti discant, et ament meminisse periti; and we may assure general readers of every description, particularly those of Shropshire, that, though lacking nothing of learning or science, Mr. Leighton has, with much taste and fancy, contrived to make his Flora “a perpetual flow of nectar’d sweets, where no crude surfeit reigns.”—News.
Carefully and critically executed.—Athenæum.

The London Morning Post thus speaks of the Race Saddle now at the Paris Exhibition, made by the Advertiser:—
“Foremost in the list of exhibitors for beautiful workmanship stands the name of Mr. W. D. Jones, of Shrewsbury. This gentleman shows a very elegant racing saddle, designed and manufactured by himself, and exhibited for its extreme lightness, its comfort combined with elegance of shape, and the novelty of its embellishments. The saddle is little if anything more than 2lbs. in weight, though, of course, that can always be increased to please the customer; it is sufficiently long in the seat to give the greatest ease to the rider, and it is embellished with bunches of roses, thistles, and shamrocks, interwoven with oak foliage and acorns—the whole of the ornamentation being executed in relief by hand labour only. The case containing this beautiful saddle is always surrounded by large numbers of the higher class of visitors to the Exhibition, to whom it appears to give universal satisfaction. Mr. Jones was an exhibitor in Hyde Park of the Royal Albert Shot Belt, which is very highly approved and extensively used by those who take a delight in the sports of the field.”

A GUIDE, DESCRIPTIVE AND HISTORICAL, THROUGH THE TOWN OF SHREWSBURY, INTERSPERSED WITH BRIEF NOTICES OF THE MORE REMARKABLE OBJECTS IN THE ENVIRONS,
TO WHICH ARE APPENDED, LISTS OF THE EMINENT NATIVES OF THE TOWN, WITH REFERENCES TO BIOGRAPHICAL WORKS;
OF THE BIRDS SEEN IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD;
AND OF THE RARER SPECIES OF PLANTS INDIGENOUS TO THE VICINITY.
BY THE REV. W. A. LEIGHTON, B.A. F.B S.E. AUTHOR OF “A FLORA OF SHROPSHIRE,” &c.
“I held on way to auncient Shrewsebrie towne, And so from horse at lodging lighting downe, I walkt the streats, and markt what came to vewe.”
Churchyard.
NOTICES OF THE WORK.
“We are exceedingly pleased with this elegant and judicious Guide. We think it is formed after the best plan, that of pure and terse description of those objects which are actually presented to the eyes of the stranger, neither overloaded with history and biography, which he may study more appropriately in other works, and on less hurried occasions, nor degraded by the introduction of mean and insignificant subjects. To the residents of Shrewsbury, the utility of this little volume is enhanced by a catalogue of its eminent natives, and lists of native birds and plants. The whole work bears evidence of the ability and good taste of the author.
“We must particularly praise the pains taken to give a full account of the Grammar School, and its eminent scholars, who, under the conduct of the late and present head masters, (the late Bishop of Lichfield and Dr. Kennedy), have won an extraordinary proportion of the prizes at both universities, as is shewn in the highly honourable lists here printed. The volume is embellished with no less than sixty engravings on wood.”
Gentleman’s Magazine.
“This ‘Guide through the Town of Shrewsbury’ is, in every particular, a well-arranged, comprehensive, correct, and intelligent book of reference.
“There is no town in England better known by name than Shrewsbury—from its cakes and annual show, to its famed Grammar School and useful Institutions; but this Guide will make both natives and strangers better acquainted with its antiquity, its internal regulations, and the character of its inhabitants, than could have been derived from any previous publication of the kind. It goes so minutely into particulars, traces sources with so much industry and accuracy, and details events with so much vividness and perspicuity, that it should be called a miniature History of Shrewsbury.” . . . Analyst.
“It really is one proof, and that not the least remarkable, of the rapid improvement of provincial literature within the past fifteen years, that the standard of guide-books is of a far higher degree of excellence than formerly was the case. This Guide to Shrewsbury is neatly written, abounds with every species of information, historical, descriptive, and other, which relates to the subjects noticed, is profusely illustrated with wood-cuts, and lastly, has appended to it what is of much value to works of this kind a Flora and Fauna of the neighbourhood. As a specimen of country printing, the book is remarkable; it might have passed for the work of a Vizetelly or Bradbury.”—Critic.
“A pleasing little volume, not more remarkable for the neat and workmanlike manner in which it is ‘got-up,’ than for the simple and unaffected style in which it is written.”—Manchester Chronicle.
“An excellent Guide to this interesting old town, its antiquities, curiosities, surrounding scenery, botany, and, in short, all that an inquiring tourist could wish to inspect in a visit to Shrewsbury.”—Literary Gazette.
“It will be found to be an admirable companion to the antiquities and other noticeable points of the place; and when the visitors leave the old town this guide will call to mind its outward forms and semblances. This book has much more permanent value than guide-books usually have. Would that books of greater pretensions were always as complete!”—Pictorial Times.
“Made memorable by the pen of the inimitable bard in his play of Henry IV., the town of Shrewsbury naturally becomes an object of curiosity to the reader of Shakspere. Excited by this feeling, we took up this little volume, and we were so well pleased with it that we step aside from our usual course of passing by publications of a local character to notice its excellence. It is tastefully and correctly printed, amply illustrated with numerous and beautiful wood engravings, and its descriptions graphic and clear, so as to render it a pleasing and unerring guide to the visitor of Shrewsbury, instructive to the historical and architectural antiquarian, the traveller, and the general reader.
“We recommend it to all whom business or pleasure may call to that ancient and celebrated town.”—Liverpool Chronicle.
