Excerpt from An Introduction to Structural Botany, Vol. 1: Flowering Plants This book is intended as a first guide to the study of the structure of plants. Botany is now taught in schools of all kinds, and wherever Botany is taught it has become customary to expect some knowledge of the construction of plants, and of the function of their organs. All that I have airned at in this book is to secure that such knowledge, when first acquired, shall be correct as far as it goes. My purpose has been to write an Introduction to Structural Botany, not a manual of Botany in general. It is absolutely necessary that schoolboys and girls, if they are to learn this science at all, should also gain a knowledge of plants in the field. For this part of the work a guide is necessary, and some such book as Professor Oliver's Lessons in Elementary Botany is indispensable.

Excerpt from An Introduction to Structural Botany, Vol. 1: Flowering Plants In this edition several emendations of a minor character have been made, chiefly at the suggestion of a correspondent. A Glossary of the botanical terms used in the volume has been added. In preparing this I have frequently had occasion to consult Dr. Daydon Jackson's well-known Glossary of Botanic Terms and Glossary to Kerner and Oliver's Natural History of Plants.
