Introduction to Structural and Systematic Botany and Vegetable Physiology: Being a Fifth and; Revised Edition of the Botanical Text-Book (Classic Reprint)

This compendious treatise is designed to furnish classes in the higher seminaries of learning, colleges, and medical schools, as well as private students generally, with a suitable text-book of Structural and Physiological Botany, and a convenient introduction to Systematic or Descriptive Botany, adapted to the present condition of the science. The favor with which the former editions have been received, while it has satisfied the author that the plan of the work is well adapted to the end in view, has made him the more desirous to improve its execution, and to render it a better exponent of the present state of Botany. In this view, the structural and physiological part of the work, and the chapters on the Principles of Classification and of theN atural System, have been again almost entirely rewritten, and such changes made as the advanced state of our knowledge required, or the authors continued experience in teaching has suggested. This has been done without increasing the extent of this part of the volume, which, considering the limited time devoted to the study in our colleges, c, is found to be as full as is desirable for a textbook.
