This edition of Koempfer's celebrated work on Japan contains several things which are not to be found in the English translation. Histoire du Japan. Par Charlevoix. Paris, 1754, 6 vols. 12mo. This is the best edition of Charlevoix's work, many parts of which, especially what relates to natural history, are drawn from Koempfer.
When the natural history illustrations of Java, by Mr. Horsfield, are completed, they will, in conjunction with this work, and the Transactions of the Batavian Society, leave nothing to be desired on the subject of this part of Asia. E. Koempfer's Geschichte und Beschriebung von Japan. Lemgo, 1777-79. 2 vols. 4to.
Koempfer's irises, blue, white, purple, streaked, marbled, and otherwise variegated, are in bloom; they are the grandest of their race, and as different varieties succeed one another, they may be had in bloom from June till August. They are easily raised from seed or by division prefer rich, moist land, and if in a partly shaded place, their blossoms last longer than in full sunshine.
