From the Charlston Courier, Jaly 28, 1169, PORCHER'S 8eSOUECeS of the South1 -0 The title of this well'known and valuable olume, is a comprehensive one, and fully S nveys the idea of its contents. It devel" pea, as it purports to do, the "resources of -he Southern fields and forest; medical, commercial and agricultural;" and provides it complete "medical botany of the Southern dtates." far more comprehensive than any yet published-having, in fact, the advan tage of using all previous publications-of which Da. PoncsEa b:s made excellent use. It affords practical information, ot the most valnable kind, in respect to the "use, ful properties of the trees, plants and hrabs. - abounding everywhere in the tropical vegetation of the South. All the condi Ons of this promise of the are fal*U i theges of this copious u aoaf *av e volume; and, whether e consider the olltiiaa, the planter, the peculator. the housekeeper, or the simple stisen, this sbould"be a household book eith all. In brief, it takes rank with the 'soluely necessary historis of the coun" {:y; and where they exhibit little less than The strifes, the struggles, the wars, and the iniserable polities of society, this volume *brows us back upon God: shows us what have bequ the blessings and bon.ies we owe to is hands; shows us where to turn for resource at the hour of need; shows the statesman how best to calculate the proba ble products of the soil; the farmer how to avail himself of Its natural productions; the domestic mediciner how to meet the emer, gencies of disease, from his native woods; and the domestic economist how to find, in probably the most miserable weed, an herb of grace as well as utility, giving relief to his pains, and savor to his soups. Conveying almost every variety of instrac" tion on all these v:tal subjets, this volume of Da PoCnkEx was admirably calcuated so meet the ,xigencies of the great civil war, forced upoa the Confederate States at a mo' meat when their materials in food, medicine, metals sad machinery were almost wholly wa Wngart- and science.

We are glad that Dr. Porcher has met sufficient eneouragement to warrant hun In Issuang a secend edition of his very valuable work. The book was written and published duigthe late war, by direction of the ; and what with a small dgalyprinted, and hegeneral -sUason by the war of every species or hoek; the work had aheady become rare, and uch sought after. We are pleased, tezutie, now bae e . old friends reap per, and dressed by those famed ierary taiors, whose names appear at the foot of the tite page. not in the dingy "Confederate Gray" of the first edition, .but in splendid paper. typography and binding. A book likethis is a great desideratum "hire at this time". The war, from necessity, threw our people largely upon their own re soaress,and long fo,rgoitoa "domestic rem,. edb 'ere again brought from their ob'. sgeeesmaea, So with valuable dye stuffs, seeds grains, anid material for fine textile fabrics. Dr. Porcber in- this book, points out and describes, both for the learned and uniesirned reader, no less than five hundred substancs, possessing every variety of use ful quaSity, all to be tband within the limits of the Southern States; and for all of which, to it remembered, there is a ready market. Bere, then, are vast undeveloped resources, and likely to remsin undeveloped, at least mn a great meware, for the want of intelligent guidance. Not long since the writer endea,. voted to procure a book that should contain directions for the unlearned, bow to gather and prepare such of these lndigeulous roots, herbs, leaves, barks, seeds, &c., as are sought for in the markets of the world; but there is no book extant that gives such in, formation. Dr. Porcher's book contains this information, with minute directions where to find, and when to gather the at ticles described. We can confidently say that it is the very best treatise on this sub ject to be had in the United States. Some of our readers in the interior may be surprised to learn that herbs, weeds, and other such "tra"h," that they have seen "run to seed" all their lives, should have a remarkable value. Such, however, is the case. From XIX Century, July, 1869. Treating specially of our medicinal plants, and of the be,t substitutes for foreign articles of vegetable origin; instructing the common mind how to select, collate and utilizo sub, stances of great value; suggesting to the professions and trades, and to capitalists, ideas calculated to open new fields of profi, table research and experiment-this work of Dr. Porcher is pre-eminently the most im' portant contribution to science and art, to the home and fireside, that has yet been made by any writer in the South * * * The work deserves careful study. The mer chant, factor, planter, farmer, physician and surreon, mechanic-the representative of every sphere of activity. will find in it much that will gratify and reward. lotices of frst edition. Opinion of Mr. Ravenel, as expressed in a letter to the author. On the whole, I have been surprised at its general accuracy and freedom from typo graphical errors, knowing as I do from ex perience. how difficult it is for the printers to be correct in scientific terms. The con nection between practical medicine and Botany opens a vast, very vast, and almost unexplored field, and yo !r book lays the foundation for its study and application. It will take its place at a standard worK on that subject. and in course of time will need corrections, additions and amendments. O9ficial communication from Sur geon-General S. P. Moore, C. S. A.,-To the author upon the com pletion of the task assigned him. The comprehensive information displayed in the preparation of this work has been fully appreciated by the public, and very flattering notices of its issue have been giv en by the press to which it has been freely distributed, with the request that as many as possible of the more valuable extracts be republished Permit me to say that your labors have met with the approval of this office which takes pleasure, whilst expressing its appre" laion of the manner in which you have aeoomplished the task undertaken by you; at the same time to compliment you on the ability with which you have enlightened the profession and society upon matters, a full knowledge of which is so important. The work has been distributed widely among the MDICAL OFFIC3RS. From Southern Illustrated News, Richmond, Va. We incline to the opinion, that a more useful work has never been issued from the American press. * * Most particularly do we commend this work to the notice and acceptance of fami lies and house wives, who would not sup po-e from the title that it contained any thing that would be specially suited to their tastes and wants. They will discover that no hook of receipts ever published is more comp act of serviceable hints and suggestions. Indeed in this point alone, it is worth all the "E squire Withins" and "Things Worth Knowing" that were got up with such pro fusion for sale in the Southern States It would be ditlicult to tell what may not be found within its ids. Fromn H. W. Ravenel (one of the most distintguished authorities on questions of Natural &cience at the South. The title indicates the sebpe of its object. t is to bring to notice the resources of our 5eldIs and forests, for medical, economical and agriculsural purposes. Dr. Porcher's previous researches and studies had weil qualified him for such law bors His publientious on our indigenous ateri' medica had familiarized him with his subject, and enabled him to use to ad, antage a vast amount of material which he had thus collected. Au extensive practice in the city of Charleston and the occupation of the Chair of Materia Medica in one of the Preparatory Schools, gave him ample op porunes of knowing and testing tbe va rious tesources otf the pr'ifession. both mine, ral and vegetabte, whilst his fondness fvr the tnatural sciences. comabinied with some familiarity with botany, enabled him to ap, ply his knowledge to the best advantage. Soon after the fall of Nortolk, where he ccupied the place of Hospital Surgeon, e was relieved from duty in the field, and uder direction of the Surgeon-General, had this duty assigned him. A better selection could not have been made. From London Index, (EnG.) N2~otice of first Editor. The Charleston Courier has an article on "our Botanical Resources," in which is no ices a booak entitled "Resources of the -othern Fields and Forests, etc., etc., by Francis Pe'yte Porcher, Surgeon. Prepared and published by order of the Surgeon-Gen, eral, ichmonad. Va. Dr. F. F. Porcher gives an account of 400 sustances pos'.essing 'very variety of useful ulity. The list includes textile fibres, grains, seeds, oils. gums resins, dyes, starch, acids, liquors, materials for paper and cor" dage, medicines of all qualities, wood for all uses, &c.
