While this volume does not ask attention as a 

 manual of botany, it is, in effect, a most admirable 

 text-book on that science, though free from the 

 tedious technical terms which usually characterize 

 manuals on the sciences. The motive of the book 

 is the cultivation of the power of observation and 

 the ability to draw proper inferences therefrom It 

 is pure "nature study 77 that it inculcates, and the 

 charm of its manner and method will be felt by even 

 a casual reader. The numerous beautiful illus- 

 trations, which greatly aid the reader in his com- 

 prehension of the truths presented, are a marked 

 feature of the work. 



LESSONS WITH PLANTS is admirably adapted to class use in 

 high schools and academies. It includes Studies of Twigs and 

 Buds ; Studies of Leaves and Foliage ; Studies of Flowers ; 

 Studies of the Fructification ; Studies of the Propagation of 

 Plants; Studies of the Behavior and Habits of Plants; Studies of
