A Manual of Botany ; Anatomical and Physiological. By Robert

Brown. (Blackwood and Son.)—This is a most complete and admirable manual, which we can heartily recommend to the students for whose use it is intended. It is divided into four sections, dealing respectively with the "General Anatomy or Histology of the Elementary Tissues,' " Nutrition," " Reproduction," and "General Phenomena Connected with Plant-life." For the scientific reader it is a treasury of the newest and most accurate knowledge of the subject. The unscientific will find abundance of curious and interesting information in its pages.
