SECOND EDITION, REVISED BY THE AUTHOR. 



The NeiAT Botany. 



A Lecture on the Best Method of Teaching the Science. By W. J. BEAL, M.SC. PH.D., Professor of Botany in the 

 Agricultural College, Lansing, Mich. 8vo, paper. "25c. Mailed, post-paid, on receipt of price. 



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

 •examination of a plant will teach more than the perusal of fifty boolis. Every stvident of Botany may profit by taking 

 counsel of Dr. Beal." — London Gardener'' s Magazine. 



" This beok 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 shoulu be the objects in studying Natural Science, and the best modes of 

 cultivating habits of correct observation."— /-ondon Journal of Horticulture. 



" The tendency of modern instruction seems to be in the direction of emancipation from text-books, with their 

 stereotyped formulas ; and we believe that in no department is there more need of it than in that of Botiiny."— Marble- 

 head {Mass.) Messenger. 



"Neither Botany nor Horticulture is what it was a half centary ago. True Gardening in these days embraces a 

 knowledge of flowers to an extent that makes a gardener really a botanist ; wliile Botany is a great deal more than a 

 mere classification of a lot of dried sticks. In the new order of things Botany deals with plant life, just as Gardening 

 does. Few have done so much, probably no one more, to make Botany popular than Prof. Beal. In tliis lecture he tells 

 how he does it. No better service could" be rendered to botanists and gardeners than to have this lecture in the hands of 

 every teacher." — Gardeners'' Monthly, January. ISS?. 



" Prof. Beal is one of tlie best of our modern teachers of Botany."— Ibid, Sfptember, 1SS2.
