" Mr Cooke has especially distinguished himself as a student of the fungi and the 

 fresh-water algae, his works on these orders being the standard treatises in English. 

 He has also paid some attention to zoology and chemistry, his education in these as in 

 other sciences being obtained by persistent self-instruction." Celebrities of the Century. 



Rust, Smut, Mildew, and Mould. An Introduction to the Study of 

 Microscopic Fungi. Illustrated with 269 Coloured Figures by J. 

 E. Sowerby. Fifth Edition, Revised and Enlarged, with Appendix 

 of New Species. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



Those of our readers who are the happy possessors of microscopes would welcome 

 this book with delight, as opening the way to a definite study of a most interesting 

 branch of plant life. The minute fungi, here so faithfully depicted by Mr Sowerby, 

 and so carefully described by Dr Cooke, have not only beauty of form and colour, but 

 wonderful life-histories. Every hedge or lane or piece of waste ground, even in the 

 suburbs of large towns, will provide specimens, which may be easily preserved on the 

 plants which they attack or mounted as microscope slides.
