" In Dr. Balfour's ' Class-Book of Botany,' the author seems to have 

 exhausted every attainable source of information. Few, if any, works 

 on this subject contain such a mass of carefully collected and condensed 

 matter, and certainly none are more copiously or better illustrated." — 

 Hooher's Journal of Botany. 



" Professor Balfour's ' Class-Book of Botany ' is too well and favour- 

 ably known to botanists, whether teachers or learners, to require any 

 introduction to our readers. It is, as far as we know, the only work 

 which a lecturer can take in his hand as a safe text-book for the whole 

 of such a course as is required to prepare students for our University 

 or medical examinations. Every branch of Botany, structural and 

 morphological, physiological, systematic, geographical, and palseonto- 

 logical, is treated in so exhaustive a manner as to leave little to be 

 desired. 



" The work is one iudispensable to the class-room, and should be in 

 the hands of every teacher." — Nature. , 



" One of the best books to place in the hands of a student." — 

 Annals of Nat. History. 



"One of the most complete and elegant class-books on Botany 

 which has been published. It contains aU that a student may require, 

 both in description and illustration." — Lancet.
