Abstract
THE volume before us is the first of a work which is to treat of all the departments of the science of botany. In his preface Prof. Müller explains that he has been led to undertake this very serious task by the conviction that unity of design is the first essential in an educational work such as this is to be, and that this unity cannot be attained unless all the parts of it come from the same hand. Possibly his estimate of the value of this unity may be correct, but it must not be forgotten that the division of a labour such as this secures one very important advantage, namely, the complete treatment of each of the separate parts, and this may after all be quite as important as the unity of design.
