f 1 '11 ^ >erm j t me to express my high appreciation of the work, the exact and beauti- 

 lul illustrations of which, in connection with the text, now first renders possible a 

 comprehensive and satisfactory study of the plants of the northern States without the 

 possession of a very extensive herbarium."— John H. Lovell, Waldboro, Maine. 



" The immensity of the undertaking will probably be fully appreciated by com- 

 paratively few ; but any one can see that it must involve appalling labor. Certainly 

 such general work has been previously attempted. The execution of the under- 

 kin g appears to be thoroughly satisfactory. The possession of this great mine of 

 act and elaborate botanical information must prove a constant delight and satisfac 



r n ever y one wh ° takes any sort of intelligent interest in the vegetable world."
