Illustrated with 118 Figures. 



PRESS NOTICES. 



"An introduction to the study of structural botany has long been a 

 desideratum in this country. . . . Dr. Scott's little book supplies this 

 need in a most admirable manner, and he has thoroughly earned the 

 gratitude both of teacher and student, alike for the freshness and clearness 

 with which he has presented his subject. " Nature. 



"In noticing elementary books in these pages, we have lamented 

 nothing more than the want of a book which should do for structural 

 botany what Prof. Oliver's ' Lessons ' has long done for the study of the 

 principal natural orders. It seems hard to realise that this grievance 

 is no more, and that we possess such a book in our own language, and 

 a book that no honest critic will fail to assess at a higher value than any 

 known book in any language that has the same scope and aim. . . . 

 Nothing could well be more plain and simple, or more severely accurate or 

 better judged from beginning to end." Journal of Botany. 



"It makes an excellent introduction to the science, and is wisely con - 

 fiued to structural details, to which beginners are not, as a rule, kept long 

 enough. The diagrams are first-rate." Educational Review. 



"It is no exaggeration, but the simple truth, to say that there is at 

 present no other work in our language where the anatomy of flowering 

 plants is so fully and so clearly set forth." Westminster Review. 



"A book that no honest critic will fail to assess at a higher value than 

 any known book in any language that has the same scope and aim." 

 Journal of Botany. 



"So excellent that we commend it most heartily to all who desire to 

 be well grounded in the first principles of each department of botany, not 

 of one only." Gardeners' Chronicle.
