Abstract
WITH the first three numbers of the above-named work, which are now before us, Profs. Engler and Prantl have embarked on an enterprise of some magnitude. The editors, having recognized the want of a comprehensive treatise, in German, on the Vegetable Kingdom, which should at once be scientifically sound, and yet be written in a style suitable for the use of those who are not professed botanists, have determined to meet that want. With this object they have enlisted the assistance of a number of collaborators: anyone who is conversant with the literature of Botany produced in Germany in recent years will see, on reading the list of names, that Dr. Engler has secured the co-operation of a very powerful staff, including many of the most prominent representatives of the science in that country.
