Excerpt from Field, Forest, and Garden Botany: A Simple Introduction to the Common Plants of the United States East of the 100th Meridian, Both Wild and CultivatedThis book is intended to furnish botanical classes and beginners generally with an easier introduction to the plants of this country than is the Manual, and one which includes the common cultivated as well as the native species. It is made more concise and simple, 1. By the use of somewhat less technical language; 2. By the omis sion, as far as possible, of the more recondite and, for the present purpose, less essential characters; and also of most of the obscure, insignificant, or rare plants which students will not be apt to meet with or to examine, or which are quite too difficult for beginners; such as the Sedges, most Grasses, and the crowd of Golden Rods, Asters, Sunﬂowers, and the' like, which reduire very critical study. On the other hand, this small volume is more comprehensive than the Manual, since it comprises the common herbs, shrubs, and trees of the Southern as well as the Northern and Middle States, and all which are commonly cultivated or planted, for ornament or use, in fields, gardens, pleasure-grounds, or in house-culture, including even the conservatory plants ordinarily met with.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Introduction to Structural and Systematic Botany, and Vegetable Physiology: Being a Fifth and Revised Edition of the Botanical Text-Book, Illustrated With Over Thirteen Hundred WoodcutsI. Botany is the Natural History of the Vegetable Kingdom. The vegetable kingdom consists of those beings (called plants) which derive their sustenance from the mineral kingdom, that is from the earth and air, and create the food upon which animals live. The proof of this proposition will be hereafter afforded, in the chapter upon the food and nutrition of plants. The vegetable kingdom, therefore, occupies a position between the mineral and the animal kingdoms. Comprehensively considered, Botany ac cordingly embraces every scientific inquiry that can be made respecting plants, their nature, their kinds, the laws which gov ern them, and the part they play in the general economy of the world, - their relations both to the lifeless mineral kingdom below them, from which they draw their sustenance, and to the animal kingdom above, endowed with higher Vitality, to which in turn they render what they have thus derived.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Botany, one of the most generally interesting of theN atural 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 of 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 of our own are described. A ccordingly, as respects the principles of Botany (including Vegetable Physiology), this work is complete in itself, as a school-book for younger classes, and even for the students of our higher seminaries. For it comprises a pretty full account of the structure, organs, growth, and reproduction of plants, and of their important uses in the scheme of creation, subjects which certainly ought to be as generally understood by all educated people as the elements of Natural Philosophy or Astronomy are; and which are quite as easy to be learned. The book is also intended to serve as an introduction to the authors Manual of theB otany of theN orthern United States (or to any similar work describing the plants of other districts), and to be to it what a grammar and a dictionary are to a classical author. It consequently contains many terms and details which there is no necessity for young students perfectly to understand in the first instance, and still less to commit to memory, but which they will need to refer to as occasions arise, when they come to analyze flowers, and ascertain the names of our wild plants. To make the book complete in this respect, a full Glossary, or Dictionary ofT erms used in describing Plants, is added to the volume. This contains very many words which are not used in theM anual of Botany; but as they occur in common botanical works, it was thought best to introduce and ex(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
