 "Dr. Beal does well to say that books are an aid in the study, and not the proper source of knowledge at all. One 

 examination of a plant will teach more than the perusal of fifty books. Every student of botany may profit by taking 



counsel of Dr. Be.vl."— I/ondo/i Oardcner's Maiyasine. "This book well merits the attention of all engaged in teaching 



botany, and also of those who are about to study it. Some excellent directions are given as to what should be the obiectg 

 in studving natural science, and the best moles of cultivating habits of correct oliservation."— Ao^f/ow Journal of iTort.
