‘*‘ All persons interested in the history of botany and of the botanists of these 
islands, but more especially those actively engaged in, botanical work involving 
historical research, will weleome a reprint of the ‘ Biographical Index,’ which ran 
through four volumes of this Journal, beginning in 1888. . . . And this little book 
is, after all, the foundation, and a good substantial one, too, of the history of — 
British and Irish botanists, baat h may some day develop into as complete and 
exhaustive a work as Colmeiro’s admirable La Botdnica y los Dotdnicos de la _ 
pinbatila  isaue Lusitana. ae other nation, I believe, possesses such a work as 
the latter, and no second nation, so far as I am aware, just sueh a work as the 
former.”-—W, Botting Hemsley in Journ. Bot., Sept. 1893. 
‘*The utility and general naisaghet: of sie ee ver eee evident 3 in 
the course of its pees in the - 
then received is amply confirmed now _ the Index appears revised and completed - 
up to date.” —dAtheneum, Dec. 30, 1 ae 
«The details given by the authors are very concise, but, considering that they 
comprise reference to other sources of information, they are adequate. eacquire- — 
ments of the authors, and the unrivalled facilities oe their disposition in the ~ 
Museum, offer the best guarantees that their work has been well done. Those 
interested in the history of horticulture, as well as in that of botany, will find the o 
~ Work indispensable.’’—Gardeners’ Chronicle, Sept. 9, 1893. re 
Die book has been compiled to satisfy a felt want among botanists. The — 
names, dates, chief facts concerning, and p abhabed works of, botanists have been 
Seretlly put together.”——-The Bookman, Aug. 139 ;
