Abstract
THE third edition of “English Botany” was begun just thirty years since by Dr. Boswell (then Syme), and continued at somewhat uncertain intervals, the flowering plants being completed in 1872. The ferns followed at a later period, and the volume containing them was completed by Mr. N. E. Brown, owing to the failure of Dr. Boswell's health.
