Abstract
WE are very glad indeed to welcome Prof. Vines' new book. It is the first English text-book of modern botany that has yet appeared. The book has grown out of the author's translation of Prantl's “Lehrbuch der Botanik,” but, as Prof. Vines tells us in the preface, “though the form of Prof. Prantl's book is retained, and here and there paragraphs from the English edition have been inserted, it is essentially a new book, for which he alone is responsible.”
