Abstract
THE author of this little book is a professor at the Museum d'Histoire naturelle in Paris, and here reproduces in simple, lucid, and attractive form the substance of a course of lectures given at the Museum for more than twenty years. The subjects briefly treated include osmosis, colloids, germination, growth, assimilation, respiration, etc. The definition of such terms as osmosis and colloid are not above criticism, but any one with no previous knowledge of the subject should find it an attractive and, on the whole, an accurate presentation of the general features of plant physiology.
