PART II. FLOWERLBSS PLANTS (Fifth Edition).

SOME PRESS OPINIONS. 



"The second part of Dr. Scott's admirable manual of Structural Botany 

 is now before us. It consists of a most carefully worked out history of the 

 structure of flowerless plants, which constitute more than half of the 

 vegetable world. . . . Dr. Scott's position in the Royal Gardens at Kew 

 will give a tone of authority for this book, which will carry considerable 

 weight with its readers. It is one which cannot fail to hold its place 

 among the most thoughtful of students of botany." Science Gossip. 



"We have nothing but praise for this neat little volume. With its 

 companion (Part I. Flowering Plants) it forms as good an introduction as 

 one can imagine, in our present knowledge, to the study of the plant-world 

 of to-day. . . . We only fear lest, amid such a wealth of illustration, the 

 student may deem an examination of the actual specimens to be un- 

 necessary." Guardian. 



"Students of botany will welcome the second part of Dr. D. H. Scott's 

 'Introduction to Structural Botany 'which has just appeared. . . . The 

 language is clear and not unnecessarily technical, which is a great advan- 

 tage to a beginner. We believe many are deterred from the fascinating 

 study of botany by the extremely numerous technical terms with which 

 so many manuals abound. . . . We do not remember reading a clearer 

 description of the growth of ferns than that in the chapter on vascular 

 cryptogams." Westminster Preview. 



" Some time ago we had occasion to notice in favourable terms the first 

 part of this little treatise devoted to the flowering plants. We can speak 

 no less favourably of the present instalment. It is a thoroughly original 

 book, and one well thought out. ... To those who desire to get a clear 

 connected account of the distinctive characteristics and life-history of the 

 great groups of the vegetable kingdom, we most heartily commend Dr. 

 Scott's little volume." Gardeners' Chronicle.
