INTRODUCTION TO BOTANY. 



By John Lindlet, Ph.D., F.R.S. Fourth Edition, greatly enlarged; with 

 6 Plates, and numerous Wood Engravings. 2 vols. 8vo, 24a. 



*#* It has been tlie Author's wish to bring every subject that he has introduced 

 down, as nearly as possible, to the state in which it is found at the present day. In 

 doing so, he has added so very considerable a quantity of new matter, especially in 

 what relates to Vegetable Anatomy and Physiology, that the present Edition may be 

 considered, in those respecte, a new work. 



"The present edition is an attempt to give a complete view of modem botanical 

 discovery up to the time of its pubUcation ; in doing which it has expanded from one 

 volume into two, although some of the matter in the previous editions has been 

 omitted. To what extent this augmentation has been carried is shown by the follow- 

 ing comparison between the third and present edition : —

and so on. It will also be found that the matter is much more clearly arranged than 

 formerly. From this it will be seen, that the reader has before him a new work,
