Présentation de l'éditeur
This volume takes the place of the authors Lessons in Botany AND Vegetable Physiology, published over a quarter of a century ago. It is coustructed on the same lines, and is a kind of new and much revised edition of that successful work. While in some respects more extended, it is also more concise and terse than its predecessor. This should the better fit it for its purpose now that competent teachers are common. They may in many cases develop paragraphs into lectures, and fully illustrate points which are barely, but it is hoped clearly, stated. I ndeed, even for those without a teacher, it may be that a condensed is better than a diffuse exposition. The book is adapted to the higher schools, How Plants Grow and Behave being theB otany for Young People and Common Schools. It is intended to ground beginners inS tructural Botany and the principles of vegetable life, mainly as concerns Flowering or Phanerogamous plants, with which botanical instruction should always begin ;also to be a companion and interpreter to theM anuals andF loras by which the student threads his flowery way to a clear knowledge of the surrounding vegetable creation. Such a book, like a grammar, must needs abound in technical words, which thus arrayed may seem formidable; nevertheless, if rightly apprehended, this treatise should teach that the study of botany is not the learning of names and terms, but the acquisition of knowledge and ideas. No effort should be made to commit technical terras to memory. A ny term used in describing a plant or explaining its structure can be looked up when it is wanted, and that should suffice.
