⁂ NOTE.--The SECOND EDITION has been thoroughly Revised and Enlarged, and includes all the leading selected TYPES in the various Organic Groups.

Of the SECOND EDITION, the _British Medical Journal_ says:--“Certainly THE BEST ‘BIOLOGY’ with which we are acquainted, and it owes its pre-eminence to the fact that it is an EXCELLENT attempt to present Biology to the Student as a CORRELATED and COMPLETE SCIENCE. The glossarial Index is a MOST USEFUL addition.”

“Furnishes a CLEAR and COMPREHENSIVE exposition of the subject in a SYSTEMATIC form.”--_Saturday Review._

“Literally PACKED with information.”--_Glasgow Medical Journal._

THE FLOWERING PLANT, AS ILLUSTRATING THE FIRST PRINCIPLES OF BOTANY.

Specially adapted for London Matriculation, S. Kensington, and University Local Examinations in Botany. SECOND EDITION. With numerous Illustrations. 3s. 6d.

“It would be hard to find a Text-book which would better guide the student to an accurate knowledge of modern discoveries in Botany. . . . The SCIENTIFIC ACCURACY of statement, and the concise exposition of FIRST PRINCIPLES make it valuable for educational purposes. In the chapter on the Physiology of Flowers, an _admirable résumé_ is given, drawn from Darwin, Hermann Müller, Kerner, and Lubbock, of what is known of the Fertilization of Flowers.”--_Journal of the Linnean Society._

Transcriber’s Notes

This text follows the original work. Inconsistencies in spelling, hyphenation, capitalisation, etc. have been retained, except as mentioned below. This applies to chemical compound names as well.

Textual remarks: Page 13, Footnote [18], Jerome Cardan: also known as Jérôme Cardan, Girolamo Cardano, Hieronymus Cardanus. Page 18, Praag van, Leonides: should be Leonides van Praag, Isidorus. This is the (enlarged) Dutch translation of Werber’s book. Page 52: reference to the separate article on (the detection of) Tin: there is no such article in the book. Page 62, footnote [55]: micro-millimetre should be micro-metre. Page 175, structural formulas: the original work gives two identical structural formulas; both are correct, but they do not show the difference between the two compounds. Page 192, that of Borussica: possibly a typographical error for Borussia (Borussica is the adjective). Page 399, 18·1 mgrms. (·18 grain): at least one of the numbers is wrong (possibly the second number should be ·28). Page 507: 6·4 mgmrs. (1 grain): this should probably be either 64 mgrms. or ·1 grain. In the context, the latter seems more probable. Buchner/Büchner are different persons, both are spelled correctly. Hofman/Hoffman/Hofmann/Hoffmann, Köhler/Koehler, Liné/Linné, Pellagra/Pellagri, Schuchardt/Schuchart: possibly these are spelling variants or typographical errors referring to the same persons. Kapferschlaeger: should possibly be Kupferschlaeger. Schaufféle: should possibly be Schauffele or Schäuffele. The index has been left as in the original work, even though it is not always alphabetic. Advertisements: there are some references to pages 35 and 36 of the advertisements. These pages were not present in the original.

Changes made to the text Some minor obvious punctuation and typographical errors have been corrected silently. French accents and German umlauts have been added or corrected where needed. Multi-page tables have been combined into single tables; many tables have been re-arranged. Structural formulas have been moved to separate lines. Some sections starting with § were printed as section headers in the original work; they have been treated as regular numbered sections here. Footnotes have been moved to under the paragraph, table, etc. they refer to.

Various pages: Chever/Chever’s changed to Chevers/Chevers’s Ein natürliches System der Gift-wirkungen/Giftwirkungen standardised to Gift-Wirkungen as in Loew’s original Aertzt (also in compound words) changed to Aerzt Bérenger-Férraud changed to Bérenger-Féraud L.
