Abstract
THIS is not everyone's book. Mr. Synge is a mystic and looks at the world of plants through metaphysical spectacles. His introduction would do credit to a treatise on Hegelian idealism. Plants, for him, “live, they grow; they are real, yet they are something more than real and we can all see it”. The reader who accepts this approach, and the rather highly coloured writing to which it leads, will find much in the volume to entertain him. Plants with Personality By Patrick M. Synge. Illustrated with Plates from Dr. Thornton's Temple of Flora and with Drawings by John Nash. Pp. 244 + 20 plates. (London: Lindsay Drummond, Ltd., 1939.) 12s. 6d. net.
