HAVING been requested by Mr. Finley to give my 

 opinion of Dr. J. E, Smith's Introduction to Botany, 

 which he is about to republish, I have no hesitation to 

 say, that I believe it to be an excellent work, perfectly 

 well suited to the purpose of instructing those persons 

 who wiih to study Botany, and to know the Science in 

 its presc t state of perfection.
