Abstract
THERE are many botanists who know little of the English names of Plants; and there are many who know these intimately, yet are not botanists. Both classes will welcome this comprehensive volume: and those who possess neither a philosophical nor a popular knowledge of the subject, will yet find abundant interest in a book, which is the work of an accurate scholar and philologist, as well as of a scientific botanist.

By R. C. A. Prior Second Edition. (Williams and Norgate.)
