A History of Botany in the United Kingdom from the Earliest Times to the End of the Nineteenth Century

Abstract

MANY British and Irish botanists have been anticipating the appearance of Prof, Reynolds Green's history, of the development of their science within the United Kingdom, but its reception cannot but be accompanied with feelings of sincere regret, that the author, is no longer with us. Indeed, he was seriously ill during much of its preparation, and one should not lose sight of this while perusing its pages. His friend, Prof. Harvey-Gibson, undertook the duty of seeing the work through the press, though, as he states in an appendix to the preface, he has refrained from editing it in any way.

A History of Botany in the United Kingdom from the Earliest Times to the End of the Nineteenth Century.

By Dr. J. Reynolds Green. Pp. xii + 648. (London: J. M. Dent and Sons, Ltd., 1914.) Price 10S. 6d. net.
