Plant Study and its Cultural Value

Abstract

THE task which the author has set himself in planning the book under review has not been an easy one. The exigencies of the examinations for which it is meant to serve as a text-book require the adherence to certain specified aspects of botany, which may be taken to constitute an introductory study of this science. Some text-books limit themselves to these essentials, and aim at giving a compendium, which can be used with the least trouble, but often with little educational profit, by the student in preparing himself for a definite examination.
