" In Dr. Balfour's ' Class-Book of Botany,' the author seems to have 

 exhausted every attainable source of information. Few, if any, works on 

 this subject contain such a mass of carefully collected and condensed 

 matter, and certainly none are more copiously or better illustrated." — 

 Hooker^ s Journal of Botany. 



" Professor Balfour's ' Class Book of Botany ' is too well and favourably 

 known to botanists, whether teachers or learners, to require any introduc- 

 tion to our readers. It is, as far as we know, the only work which a 

 lecturer can take in his hand as a safe text-book for the whole of such a 

 course as is required to prepare students for our University or medical 

 examinations. Every branch of botany, structural and morphological, 

 physiological, systematic, geographical, and pala^ontological, is treated in 

 so exhaustive a manner, as to leave little to be desired. 



" The work is one indispensable to the class-room, and should be in the 

 hands of every teacher." — Nature, 



" The voluminous and profusely illustrated work of Dr. Balfour is too 

 well known to need any words of comment." — Lancet.
