Liverpool Botanic Garden

The Liverpool Botanic Garden is about to be removed to a new site a little farther off; but which, unless the space of twelve acres allotted for it be kept open by placing beside it a horticultural garden and a zoological garden, will soon be liable to the same injury from smoke as the other. We have seen a plan for the new garden, which as it is not understood to be determined upon, we forbear to criticise. [Editor's Note: The Liverpool botanic garden owes its origin to the celebrated William Roscoe, Esq. It was begun in 1803, and a catalogue was published in 1808 by Mr. Shepherd, the curator, containing above six thousand species. The site was near the present Falkner Square]
