A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Too much importance cannot be attached to knowledge gained direct from Nature ;and it is gratifying to know that many questions now set by public examining bodies are designed to test the students own observations and experience. As an instance of this, it is worth pointing out that in the syllabus forB otany, published by theD epartment of Science and A rt, the examiners remark :T he examination will be especially directed towards ascertaining the amount and character of the practically acquired knowledge possessed by the students. To provide students with a means of obtaining such knowledge, this little work has been prepared in the spirit of the foregoing remarks, as a guide to beginners in the practical study of plants. The attempt is often made to study Botany without the practical examination of plants, and it has produced on the popular mind an impression that the subject is uninteresting. This is the result of the old method of teaching Botany by means of ideals or definitions ;the new method is to examine the plants from as many points of view as possible, and to draw conclusions from actual observations. Studied in this way, the subject becomes one of living interest, instead of being merely a collection of technical names and terms. It is with the idea of placing in the hands of all who are interested in the study of plants a book which shall be a guide and companion during a first course that the present volume has been prepared.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
