BOTANY FOR CHILDREN. 



AN ILLUSTRATED ELEMENTARY TEXT-BOOK FOR JUNIOR CLASSES 

 AND YOUNG CHILDREN. 



BY the Rev. GEORGE HENSLOW, M.A., F.L.S., F.G.S., 



Author of " Floral Dissections ; " 



Lecturer on Botany at St. Bartholomew's Hospital Medical School, the Birkbeck Institute, &c, 



and Examiner on Natural Science for the College of Preceptors. 



Second Edition, crown 8vo, cloth, with 32 full-page Illustrations. Price 4s. 

 With the Illustrations coloured, 14s. 



" He explains, in the simplest language and the fullest detail, the method of dissecting a plant, 

 and the significance of the technical term applied to each of its parts. A better practical introduc- 

 tion to botany than is supplied in this little book need not be wished." — Scotsman. 



" Will be found a useful handbook, more so, perhaps, than those which try to dilute the subject 

 into being entertaining by giving the lesson as a conversation. The natural system is followed, 

 common flowers are dissected, and the illustrations are very accurate."- — Guardian. 



THE FAIRY-LAND OF SCIENCE. 



By ARABELLA B. BUCKLEY, 



Authoress of 

 " A Short History of Natural Science," ' ' Botanical Tables for the Use of Junior Students," &c. 



Eighth Thousand, crown 8vo, with 74 Illustrations, cloth gilt, gilt edges, 6s. 



" So interesting that, having once opened it, we do not know how to leave off reading. The 

 entire and absolute neglect of science through the greater part of life may be recommended as 

 much as the study of whist. Just as things at large begin to pall, poetry to bore, and novels to 

 weary the aged, science becomes diverting. ' 1 he Fairy - Land of Science,' however, wil 1 

 interest children as much as centenarians, and we leave it with a sense of possessing vast and 

 almost unholy knowledge about glaciers, the sun, the sea, and other matters previously taken, as 

 it were, for granted as ultimate facts." — Saturday Review. 



AN ATLAS OF ANATOMY. 



In Twenty-four Quarto Coloured Plates, comprising One Hundred 

 Separate Figures, with Descriptive Letterpress. 



By Mrs. FENWICK MILLER, 



Member of the London School Board ; 

 Author of the Physiological Sections of " Simple Lessons for Home Use," &c. 



Fcap. folio, 12s. 6d. 



" Mrs. Miller has made a most successful endeavour to encourage the general study of anatomy 

 in a precise, and not in what would be termed a popular, form. This Atlas is a really systematic 

 work on anatomy, and will, we believe, play no mean part in the diffusion of true, pure, scientific 

 knowledge. " — A thenceum.
