Abstract

IN the first of these volumes the treatment of the subject matter is excellent, and follows a plan which is considerably different from that generally adopted in most of the English elementary text-books. The whole book bespeaks of the wide range of knowledge possessed by its illustrious author, and is written with a terseness and accuracy which is the outcome of a deep and extensive store of fact. A good feature of the book is the reference to so many plants with which the student has a common and almost every-day acquaintance.
