Abstract
WE have here two books of unequal importance which nevertheless have so much in common that they may fitly be noticed together. Both are produced by the same author, and under the auspices of the same Society—a Society, by the way, which has not escaped severe criticism of the cui bono order, but which goes far towards justifying its raison d'être by the publication of works like those now to be considered. The “Guide to the Literature of Botany” was issued about a year since, but has not been noticed in these pages; so that the appearance of the later work furnishes an opportunity for some reference to the former.
Guide to the Literature of Botany.
