Abstract
FOSSIL botany, once the very type of a dry-as-dust subject, has attracted a good deal of attention of late years, and its more important discoveries and conclusions have become the common property of students of botany, at least in this country. Miss Stopes aims at interesting a wider class. “There is no book,” she says, “in the English language which places this attractive subject before the non-specialist, and to do so is the aim of the present volume”; further on she adds that her book is dedicated “especially to all those who take an interest in plant evolution, because it forms a thread in the web of life whose design they wish to trace.” Ancient Plants: being a Simple Account of the Past Vegetation of the Earth and of the Recent Important Discoveries made in this Realm of Nature Study. By Dr. Marie C. Stopes. Pp. viii + 198, with 122 figures and frontispiece. (London: Blackie and Son, Ltd., 1910.) Price 4s. 6d. net.
