““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 welcome a reprint of the ‘ eres 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, which may some day develop into as complete and 
exhaustive a work as Colmeiro’s admirable La Botdénica y los Botdnicos de la 
Peninsula Hispano-Lusitana. No other nation, I believe, possesses such a work as 
the latter, and no second nation, so far as | am aware, just sue a Sel ge as the 
rmer.’’—W. Botting Hemsley in Journ. ae Sept. 189 
‘The utility and general — of igs a — rendetet evident i in 
_ the course of its publication 
then omen is amply co nitinol now that the Index appears revised and completed 
up to date.” —Athencum, Dec. 30, 1893. vi 
“The details given by the authors are very concise, , but, considering that cate canes 
_ Comprise reference to other sources of information, they are adequate. Theacquire- 
ot of the authors, and the unrivalled facilities at their disposition in the 
um, offer the best guarantees that their work has been well done. Those 
Gaccestaa in the history of horticulture, as well as in that of botany, will _ _ 
_ Work indispensable.’’—Gardeners’ Chronicle, Sept. 9, 1893. - 
“This book has been compiled to satisfy a felt want among botanists. The 
Names, dates, chief facts concerning, and published se of, botanists have been = e 
Carefully put together.”—The Bookman, Aug. 1893. a 
“The authors have done their work well, and made a valuable contribution to 
otanical literature.” —Natural Science, Oct. 1893.
