Abstract
IT is a curious, and not altogether a pleasant reflection, considering the activity which has been displayed by the botanists of this country within recent years, that we should still be largely dependent on foreign sources for our text-books in more than one main division of this particular science. It is doubtless true that the books are sometimes more or less edited, before they are presented to the English student, but still one can hardly help feeling that an entirely home-grown article, if issuing from first-rate hands, would prove a most welcome change.
A Hand-book of Systematic Botany.
