Abstract
FEW plants have been so fortunate or unfortunate in having so much written about them as the Cinchonas. Ever since their successful introduction into India, now some twenty years since, the Cinchonas have had showered upon them books and pamphlets innumerable, and where we find such voluminous writings, it would be strange indeed were there not matter of varied quality, and some that could be dispensed with altogether. Mr. Owen's book is very complete in the several branches of Cinchona literature, facts gathered from various authentic sources, such as the works of Dr. King, Dr. Bidie, Mr. Mclvor,and the reports of the Indian and Javan Governments, all of which are acknowledged by the author.
