from expressing my high appreciation of your work, and my congratulations on its fine 
appearance.” — BENJ. H. SMITH, Philadelphia.

good in every way that I am recommending it to every working botanical friend I 
meet.”—Rerv. W. M. BEAUCHAMP, Baldwinsville, N. Y. 
“As we carefully study the beautifully printed pages of this work, we are more 
and more impressed with its magnitude and importance. It will give renewed life and 
vigor to systematic botany and doubtless will be the means by which many a student 
will be led to the study of the more difficult families.’—Pror, C. E. BEssey in 
American Naturalist. 
“There is no work extant in the whole series of American botanical publications 
which deals with descriptions of the flowering plants that can for a moment be com- 
pared with it, either for a skillful and delightful presentation of the subject-matter or 
for modern, scientific and accurate mastery of the thousand-fold mass of detail of 
be such: a work must necessarily consist.” — Pror, Conway MAcMILLAN in 
tence. 
“In the line of books bearing the stamp of scientific authority, and at the same 
time adapted for popular use, this is unquestionably the best work ever issued on the : 
flora of any pet of the United States.”FrepeRick V. Covitte, U.S. Dept. of 
Agriculture, Div. of Botany, Washington, D. C, See yee
