Lately Lecturer in Botany and Geology at the Birmingham Municipal
Technical School
Fifth Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 4s. 6d.
“The author has wisely chosen the natural and sensible method of
commencing with the lowest forms of vegetable life, and tracing the
gradual evolution of the plant upwards to its most complicated forms,
and he has further given excellent descriptions of readily accessible
types, so that the student will easily be able to verify for himself
all the more important statements. The book is, moreover, copiously
and well illustrated.... For the student, for whom it is written,
it is calculated to be of great service, and we can most cordially
recommend it.”--=Oxford Magazine.=
