Field. The work is essentially suited to the requirements of those

Nature. Its aim is stated as “to give the student a concise account 
of the structure, habits and life-histories of Freshwater Algae, and also 
to enable him to place within the prescribed limits of a genus any Algae 
he may find in the freshwater of the British Islands.” To do this within 
the limits of an octavo volume of less than 400 pages, in which are 
numerous illustrations, is a task possible of accomplishment only by one 
very familiar with the subject and skilled in concise expression ; but that 
it has been successfully done will, we think, be the verdict after testing the 
book thoroughly. ... Prof. West’s treatment of his subject is instructive and 
stimulating.

student may do an enormous amount of practical field work without any 
other botanical literature whatever The result is a work that ought to be 
included in every library of botany and horticulture or agriculture, and it is 
certainly one that the nomadic botanist cannot afford to leave at home.... 
We have used the original edition of this work since its publication, and 
have found it to be one of the most useful and comprehensive works on 
plants ever produced.
