Description
Excerpt from The Flowering Plant: As Illustrating the First Principles of Botany
The present work has been written with the intention of illustrating the First Principles Of Botany by means of common Flowering Plants. NO previous knowledge is assumed, and the style is made as simple as possible, the technical terms necessary being carefully explained as they occur. The paramount importance Of Practical Work is insisted on throughout, and, wherever possible, easily Obtained Objects are described instead of rare ones, so that the student can readily verify most Of the facts mentioned. A short Practical Appendix is also added.
No attempt has been made to write up (or down to any syllabus, but it is believed that the book will meet the requirements of most Elementary Examinations in Botany. A selection Of South Kensington and London Questions has been appended.
My best thanks are due to Professor J. Von Sachs for permission to use several figures; and also to my friend and former colleague, Mr. John Brill, m.a., who has given me much kind help during the progress of the work.
Any corrections or suggestions for improvement will be gladly received.
