PRESS OPINIONS 



"In noticing elementary books in these pages, we have lamented nothing 

 more than the want of a book which should do for structural botany what Prof. 

 Oliver's Lessons has long done for the study of the principal natural orders. It 

 seems hard to realise that this grievance is no more, and that we possess such a 

 book in our own language, and a book that no honest critic will fail to assess at 

 a higher value than any known book in any language that has the same scope 

 and aim. Nothing could well be more plain and simple, or more severely 

 accurate or better judged from beginning to end." — foitrnal of Botany. 



" As an introduction to botany, which is all that this work pretends to be, 

 this is so excellent, that we commend it most heartily to all who desire to be 

 well grounded in the first principles of each department of botany, not of one 

 only." — The Gardeners' Chronicle. 



" An introduction to the study of structural botany has long been a desideratum 

 in this country. . . . Dr. Scott's little book supplies this need in a most admir- 

 able manner, and he has thoroughly earned the gratitude both of teacher and 

 student alike for the freshness and clearness with which he has presented his 

 subject. " — Nattire. 



"It is very conscientiously done, and the illustrations are very numerous and 

 very good." — Pall Mall Gazette. 



"Clearly written in plain language, and consist of first-hand knowledge 

 expressly arranged for this definite end. Such books are the grammar of botany." 

 — Nature Notes. 



"This admirable little publication." — Guardian. 



" It stands out from the ever-increasing crowd of guides, text-books, and 

 manuals, in virtue not only of originality of design, but also of the fact that the 

 subjects treated have been specially investigated for the purpose of the book, so 

 that we have not the mere compilation of a book-man, but an account based on 

 the results of the author's own observation." — Natural Science. 



"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 advantage 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. . . . The 

 illustrations are clear and well explained ; many of them are original, others 

 chosen from the works of specialists in the various subdivisions. We do not 

 remember reading a clearer description of the growth of ferns than that in the 

 chapter on vascular ciy^tog^ims." —Westminster Review.
