The Cldss-B ook of Botany was first offered to the student in 1845. It was originally prepared with immediate reference to the wants of the authors own pupils, with scarcely a hope of approval from the community beyond. The event, however, proved that the wants of his own pupils were precisely the same as those of myriads of others; and the use of the book, notwithstanding its numerous imperfections, soon became general. The lapse of fifteen years has done much to develop not only the knowledge of our native Flora, but of the science of Botany in general; and materials for the revision of our whole work have indefinitely accumulated. In this revision, which seems to be demanded not less by the growing appreciation of scientific studies as a means of intellectual and moral discipline, than by the progress of the science itself we have still confined ourselves to the limits of a single volume and sternly resolved against any essential enlargement, except such as the increased territory of our Flora requires. This we have done with direct reference to the convenience and the means of the thousands of youths who will still enter upon this delightful pursuit, and make their text-book their vade-mecum. The labor expended in this condensatioi will be appreciated by few, and those few, while they justify the motives, will regret the necessity. The limit of our Flora in this new series has been much extended. It now embraces the territory lying East of theM ississippi River with the Qxception of theS outhern Peninsula ofF lorida, andS outh of the Great Lakes and the River St. Lawrence. The States bordering upon the western shores of theM ississippi, although not strictly included, are essentially so, as well as those provinces of Canada upon the northern shore of theS t. Lawrence. This Class-B ook is, therefore, now professedly adapted to the students use from Quebec

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
