Abstract
THE fact that this work should have passed through so many editions sufficiently proves its popularity. The present volume is an improvement on its predecessors, both by reason of the inclusion of new and valuable matter and by the excision of some that could be very well spared. The more definite and full descriptions of the species should aid in the identification of our British plants, but the illustrations still are capable of improvement. The book is, however, sure of a wide circulation amongst the large number of people who take an interest in, and desire a closer acquaintance with, the wild flowers of the country.
