SOME PRESS OPINIONS 



" In noticing elementary books in these pages, we have lamented nothing more than 

 the want of a book which should do for structural botany what Prof. Oliver's ' Lessons ' 

 has long done for the study of the principal natural orders. It seems hard to realise 

 that this grievance is no more, and that we possess such a book in our own language, 

 and a book that no honest critic will fail to assess at a higher value than any known 

 book in any language that has the same scope and aim. Nothing could well be more 

 plain and simple, or more severely accurate or better judged from beginning to end." — 

 Journal of Botany. 



" As an introduction to botany, which is all that this work pretends to be, this is so 

 excellent that we commend it most heartily to all who desire to be well grounded in the 

 first principles of each department of botany, not of one only." — Gardener's Chronicle. 



' ' An introduction to the study of structural botany has long been a desideratum in 

 this country. . Dr. Scott's little book supplies this need in a most admirable manner, 



.and he has thoroughly earned the gratitude both of teacher and student alike for the 

 Iteshness and clearness with which he has presented his subject. " — Nature.

' ' The second part of Dr. Scott's admirable manual of Structural Botany is now 

 before us. It consists of a most carefully worked out history of the structure of flowerless 

 plants, which constitute more than half of the vegetable world. . Dr. Scott's position 



in'the Royal Gardens a$ Kew will give a tqne of authority for this book, which will carry 

 considerable-weight with its readers. It is one which cannot fail to hold its place among 

 the most thoughtful of students of botany." — Science Gossip. 



" "We have nothing but praise for this neat little volume. With its companion (Part 

 I. Flowering Plants) it forms as good an introduction as one can imagine, in our present 

 knowledge, to the study of the plant-world of to-day. . We only fear lest, amid such 



a wealth of illustration, the student may deem an examination of the actual specimens to 

 be unnecessary. " — Guardian. 



" Students of botany will welcome the second part of Dr. D. H. Scott's ' Introduction 

 to Structural Botany' which has just appeared. . The language is clear and not 



unnecessarily technical, which is a great advantage to a beginner. We believe many - 

 are deterred from the fascinating study of botany by the extremely numerous technical 

 terms with which so many manuals abound. . . We do not remember reading a clearer 

 description of the growth of ferns than that in the chapter on vascular cryptogams." — 

 Westminster Review.
