Microscopic Botany: A Manual of the Microscope in Vegetable Histology (Classic Reprint)

The Kleine Botanische Practicum of which this is a translation is an abridgment of a larger work of the same kind made by the author, Dr. Strasbnrger. I have made further condensation of the work in those chapters where the matter and expression would admit, notal)ly in Chapter VIII and those immediately preceding, and in Chapters XXX and XXXI, but in no case have I omitted essential matters from the text. The Introduction alone is shortened by omission, because portions of it were quite irrelevant to the purposes of an American edition. For a similar reason, and to save space, the Author spreface is not reproduced. The first two Registers or I ndices, those enumerating the plants and reagents used in the studies, are also omitted, as being neither essential nor very important, the references being all contained in the general subjectindex. The formuhe contained in register II are found in an appendix. The work is divided into thirty-two Lessons or Chapters to adapt it to the weeks in a German College 3ear. It is believed that the work is well adapted to the needs of both the solitar wcn-ker and students in American Colleges. A. B. Hervey. Taunton, Ma.ss., 4J uly, 1887.
