Abstract
THE sub-title of this work, “A Simple Manual for the Study of British Plants in the Field,” indicates the main purpose of the author, who dedicates the book to the veteran field botanist, Dr. G. Claridge Druce. To achieve a knowledge of the living plant, he says, let the botanist take to the field—i.e. be an outdoor botanist. As it is necessary “at the outset to make collections,” the first chapter is devoted to methods of collecting and preserving plants, and he gives many useful hints to beginners. The several types of collections which may be made to illustrate particular aspects of the subject are also indicated.
