Abstract
THE decision to publish the course of lectures on British botanists given at London University in 1911 was a very wise one, and Prof. F. W. Oliver deserves our sincere thanks for the trouble he has taken to produce so excellent a result. The volume is full of interest, and contains much concerning the lives and activities of some of the lesser-known British botanists that might otherwise have passed into oblivion.
