Xll PREFACE. 



haus, Watson, and Forbes; and in Fossil Botany, the labours of 

 Brongniart, Ansted, and Hooker have been made available. The 

 Publishers placed at the Author's disposal, the wood-cuts of Jussieu's 

 Cours Elementaire, and some from Beudant's Geology , and, in addi- 

 tion to these, there are others taken from Raspail, St. Hilaire, 

 Schleiden, Amici, and Maout. By combining together in the Manual, 

 information which the student has to acquire by the consultation of 

 several volumes, it is hoped that the work may be a useful text-book.
