AMERICAN botanists, who had been impatiently await- 

 ing the revision of this indispensable work, will be de- 

 lighted to know that a seventh, completely revised, and 

 copiously illustrated edition has now been issued. The re- 

 vision has entailed years of work by skilled specialists. No 

 effort has been spared to attain the highest degree ot clearness, 

 terseness, and accuracy. The plant families have been re- 

 arranged in a manner to show the latest view of their affin- 

 ities, and hundreds of species have been added. The synonomy 

 is copious, and the ranges are stated in considerable detail. 

 ^ The nomenclature has been brought into thorough accord 

 with the important international rules recently established — a 

 feature of great significance. Indeed, the Manual is the only 

 work of its scope which in the matter of nomenclature is free 

 from provincialism and rests upon a cosmopoHtan basis of in- 

 ternational agreement. Nearly a thousand figures, specially 

 designed for this edition, have been added, and scores of brief 

 and lucid keys have been introduced in a manner which 

 greatly simplifies the problem, of plant identification. The 

 work has been extended to include Ontario, Quebec, and the 

 maritime provinces of Canada.
