" Gives in some sixty pages the main facts of the science in a very 

 simple and attractive form. It may be put into the hands of children,

 instance knowing anything of the subject. It will be found excellent 

 for either purpose." Guardian.

 . . So far as it goes, it is the very alphabet of botanology ; we have 

 nothing but praise to accord to it." Naturalist. 



" We recommend the book highly." Natural History Journal. 



" This little volume is, according to the double preface, intended as 

 a guide both to those beginning to learn botany, and to those who would 

 instruct them. . . The author has avoided long scientific and Latin 

 words as carefully as possible, which makes the book quite readable for 

 the young ; and, as the subject matter is thoroughly sound, it will prove 

 useful for our little friends. . ." Literary World. 



" Few books are written in such a plain manner as this, especially 

 when dealing with botany. It is one ot the easiest introductions to that 

 subject we have come across ; in fact the author has made it so simple 

 that it can be perused with advantage by all in the first stage of botany. 

 It is well written. . ." Horticultural Times.

 ments of the science." Gardening World. 



" The idea is a good one." Manchester Guardian.

 ledge conveyed in an attractive manner. . . The bright and chatty 

 style of the author must make him a charming companion to the young 

 folk ; and the information given will help many to spend happy hours in 

 ' Flower Land.' . . " Fireside News. 



" . . The language of the work is beautifully clear and simple, 

 and perfectly suited to the capacities of those to whom it is addressed.
