" Nature study has been fostered and encouraged by more than one former book 

 of Mr. C. A. Hall's, but by none more effectively than by this interesting account 

 of the whole range of plant life. A botanist might take both pleasure and profit 

 from a perusal of the volume, though the book is not addressed to scientific 

 students, but to amateurs who like instruction less specialised and less technical 

 than the heavier text-books make it. ... Not the least interesting chapter of the 

 work deals with the new botany field which studies the relation of plants to their 

 environment. . . . But everywhere in the book the matter is made interesting by 

 the author's well-practised skill in the exposition and simplification of the scientific 

 teaching. The work derives an unusual value from the extent and variety of its 

 illustrations. These not only include drawings in black and white, but also many 

 excellent photographs and a large number of drawings in colour, which, while 

 always strictly documentary in their fidelity, have artistic merits that make them 

 invariably pleasing to look over." The Scotsman.

"... The language is almost wholly untechnical, and the child is not over- 

 whelmed by having its memory crammed with terms ; yet the book is at once 

 scientific, and by no means dry." Spectator.
