LESSONS IN ELEMENTARY BOTANY. With nearly 

 Two Hundred Illustrations. Eighth Thousand. 18mo. cloth, 4s. 6d. 

 This book is designed to teach the Elements of Botany on Professor 

 Hen slew's plan of selected Types and by the use of Schedules. The 

 earlier chapters, embracing the elements of Structural and Physiolo- 

 gical Botany, introduce us to the methodical study of the Ordinal 

 Types. The concluding chapters are entitled, " How to dry Plants " 

 and " How to describe Plants." A valuable Glossary is appended to 

 the volume. In the preparation of this work free use has been made 

 of the manuscript materials of the late Professor Henslow. 



" The manner is most fascinating, and if it does not succeed in making this division 



of science, interesting to everyone, we do not think anything can Nearly two 



hundred well-executed woodcuts are scattered through the text, and a, valuable and 

 copious Index completes a volume which we cannot praise too highly, and which we 

 trust all our botanical readers, young and old, will possess themselves of." Popular 

 Science Review. 



' To this system we now wish to direct the attention of teachers, feeling satisfied 

 that by some such course alone can any substantial knowledge of plants be conveyed 

 with certainty to young men educated as the mass of our medical students have been. 

 We know of no work so well suited to direct the botanical pupils' efforts as that of 

 Professor Oliver's, who, with views so practical, and with great knowledge too, can 

 write so accurately and clearly." Natural History Review. 



FIRST BOOK OE INDIAN BOTANY. With numerous 

 Illustrations. Extra fcap. 8vo. 6s. Qd. This manual is, in substance, 

 the author's " Lessons in Elementary Botany," adapted for use in 

 India. In preparing it he has had in view the want, often felt, of 

 some handy resume of Indian Botany, which might be serviceable not 

 only to residents of India, but also to any one about to proceed thither, 

 desirous of getting some preliminary idea of the Botany of that country. 



" In nothing is Professor Oliver's book more satisfactory than the success with 

 which, within so small a compass, it illustrates the vast and varied botany of India. 

 Such a work hnslong been wanted by amateurs and college professors and students in 

 India." AtluiKi'Hui. 



" Will enable the learner at once to master the elements of his study, and to apply 

 his new knowledge, to a practical examination of the plants and flowers that meet his 



eye in any part, of India It contains a well digested summary of all essential 



knowledge, pertaining to Indian botany, wrought out in accordance with the best 

 principles of scientific arrangement." Allen's Indian Mail. 



" The descriptions are all written in a popular style, so that they can be followed 



and understood by every moderately educated man It ought to command 



an extensive circulation in the educated circles of the Indian community." Calcutta 

 Englishman.
