Abstract
(i)THE first of these books forms vol. iv. of the handsomely got-up and well-illustrated “Science in Modern Life.” The first eighty-eight pages are a continuation of the account of botany begun in the previous, volume, and deal with geographical distri bution as influenced by climate, &c., followed by a general systematic survey of the vegetable kingdom. So much of the space is filled by illustrations (usually very good) that the letterpress is exceedingly con densed, and makes the style rather that of an en cyclopaedia than of a book to be read, but the sub stance is good.
