ISBN: 1417927968 ISBN-13: 9781417927968 Publisher: Kessinger Publishing OUR PRICE: $27.50 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: July 2004 Annotation: 1857. Illustrated by over 360 wood engravings, from original drawings, by Isaac Sprague. To which is added a copious glossary, or dictionary of botanical terms. The author writes that: This book is intended for the use of beginners, and for classes in the common and higher schools, -in which the elements of Botany, one of the most generally interesting of the Natural Sciences, surely ought to be taught, and to be taught correctly, as far as the instruction proceeds. While these Lessons are made as plain and simple as they well can be all the subjects treated have been carried far enough to make the book a genuine Grammar of Botany and Vegetable Physiology, and a sufficient introduction to those works in which the plants of a country-especially our own-are described. |
