Laws of Botanical Nomenclature Adopted By the International Botanical Congress, Held at Paris in August 1867: Together With an Historical Introduction and a Commentary (Classic Reprint)

In the following, translation of M. de Candolle s Lois de la Nomenclature Botanique precision has been my chief object. I have, on this account, adhered as Hterally as I could to the original text, only departing from it where the idioms of the French language did not admit of a close rendering into English. It may not be superfluous to add, that in complying with the request of the author that I should undertake the translation, I was actuated rather by a desire to oblige him, than by the hope of being able to do full justice to his work. For the revision of the MS. and proofs, I have to oflfer my sincere thanks to some kind friends at Kew. H. A. WBDDELL, M.D., Foreign Member of the Linnean Society of London. Poi TiEES, Decemher,
