THE 



HEPATIC^ 



OF THE 



BRITI5H I5LE5, 



BY 



W. H. PEARSON. 



PRESS NOTICES. 



"The descriptions of the species are clear and full, and the shorter notes which accom- 

 pany many of them are interesting and often of critical value The geographical 



distribution of each species is mentioned, and frequently the actual localities also. .... 



A glossary, table of literature, and a good index complete the volume The 228 



plates form a splendid adjunct to the text, and will prove of material service in the proper 

 identification of the various species, each generally includes a life size representation of the 

 species, as well as drawings on a large scale, of dissections, fructifications, &c. The cellular 

 structure of the leaves is also depicted, and this will often be found of much value in deciding 



between doubtful cases Mr. Pearson has laid British botanists under great 



obligations, and has succeeded in producing a book that ought to serve to rescue from com- 

 parative, though altogether unmerited oblivion, a family by no means the least interesting of 

 the vegetable kingdom."— J. B. Farmer, M.A., F.R.S., F.L.S., Prof. Bot. Royal College of 

 Science, South Kensington, in Nature. 



"The admirable descriptions drawn up by one who is familiar with the plants m the 

 field and fully illustrated as they are on the plates, together with the observations in which 

 similar species are contrasted and separated, will be of the greatest service for the identiK- 

 cation of the .species of this difficult family of plants."--C. H. Waddell, in the Irish 

 Naturalist.
