Présentation de l'éditeur

When, some few years ago, it became necessary to revise theE nglish Edition of the late Prof. Prantl sL ehrhuch der Botanik it appeared to me that the requirements of English students would be more satisfactorily metif the scope of the work were so extended that, whilst retaining all that has made it of value to beginners, it might be more useful to those engaged in the advanced study of the science. With this object in view, the number of pages has been doubled by additions to all four parts of the book, but more especially toP art III. dealing with the Classification of Plants. Though the form of Prof. Prantl sbook is still retained, and here and there paragraphs from theE nglish edition have been inserted, the present is essentially a new and distinct work for which I alone am responsible, and, consequently, on the title-page of which my name alone appears. I would most gratefully acknowledge the assistance which I have received from my friend Dr. D. H. Scott, F.E..S., Honorary Keeper of the Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Gardens, Kew, who has kindly read the proofs, and has furnished me with many valuable suggestions and criticisms. The usefulness of the book is enhanced by the incorporation of a number of additional illustrations: most of these are placed at my disposal by the publishers, from their English edition of Prof. Strasburger sP ractical Botany, a few are taken from various other sources which are duly acknowledged.
