MoreSoon after the publication of the Introduction to Botany, the author perceived the want of a treatise on the same subject of smaller size, and more especially adapted to the situation of those who commence the study without the aid of an instructor. The design of preparing such a work, though kept constantly in view, the author has had no leisure to execute until the present time; and now when the little volume is about to take its chance before the public, he cannot but hope that the beginner in Botany, whether adult, or youth, will find it an acceptable guide. Under the head of practical botany, the learner will find popular descriptions of the most common plants, following their generic and specific descriptions in scientific terms. This portion of the book, it is believed, will be peculiarly acceptable to those who have not time, or inclination to learn the meaning of all the terms usually employed in descriptive Botany; and to this part we would advise the practical student to direct his early attention.
