Abstract
FOUR years have passed since the last English edition of this comprehensive German textbook was published, and the present volume, revised by Dr. Lang, is by far the most satisfactory edition of the book which has yet appeared. The book has been very widely used by English-speaking botanists, though it is far from being an ideal work either for students or for teachers. With the rapid development of botanical research there has been a corresponding increase in the subject-matter dealt with until the volume is now uncomfortably bulky and heavy. The attempt to deal with botanical science in the most comprehensive manner, which is the aim of this textbook, has resulted in the former editions in undue condensation of the subject-matter. This defect is still very marked in the present volume and seriously impairs the value of the work.
