A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Three motives run through this book: An attempt to expound the progress of evolution in objects which are familiar and which have not yet been greatly modified by man; an effort to make a simple historical record from unexplored fields; a desire to suggest the treasures of experience and narrative which are a part of the development of agriculture, and from which the explorer must one day bring material for history and inspiration for story. It is now more than ten years since these studies were begun. Some of the material has been published in bulletins and journals, as indicated at intervals in the text; but the continuity of the effort and the full historical retrospect are first apparent in this book. The prosecution of the studies has demanded-the consultation of original sources of information, when such have been accessible, and it has required much travel, including a visit to European herbaria in which the types of certain species of plants are deposited; and the necessity of these verifications has delayed the publication of the work two years after the completion of the manuscript. Tet, the book is only a sketch.

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.
