Abstract
THIS book forms an eminently readable introduction to botanical science. It is intended primarily for the use of students at the University of Chicago, but should appeal equally to all those who are anxious to gain some knowledge of the structure and life-histories of representatives of the principal groups included in the plant kingdom. The American terminology and phraseology employed by the author may be found to be a drawback by students reading for examinations in Great Britain, but that should not deter those who are interested in the subject for its own sake.
