Botanical Works of Geo, Engehnann, Collected for Henry 



Shaw, Esq. Edited by Wm. Trelease and Asa Gray. (4^0, 



pp. 548, 102 plates. Cambridge, 1887.) 



This elegant tribute to Dr. Engelmann's memory, has been 

 widely distributed to institutions and societies through the intel- 

 ligent liberality of Mr. Shaw. It contains his complete works, 

 reprinted from the various reports, journals and transactions of 

 societies where they originally appeared, prefaced by a fine por- 

 trait and interesting biographical sketch by Dr. Gray, from the 

 Proceedings of the American Academy. The table of contents 

 " will excite the surprise of those who thought themselves well 

 acquainted with Dr. Engelmann's work." Many of the plates 

 and cuts have been reproduced only with much trouble and ex- 

 pense. Mr. Shaw has conferred a great service to botanical 

 science by this magnificent monument to his friend and associate. 



A few unbound copies may be had from Prof. Wm. Trelease, 

 at the Shaw School of Botany, St. Louis, Mo., at cost price, 

 $12.00.
