Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of the Sub-Kingdom C lenterata 'The house that is a-building looks not as the house that is built.' The present Manual, though now issued as complete, is, in truth, but the abridgment of part of a larger work which the Author trusts may yet one day see the light. The general arrangement of the subject-matter here devised does not seem to require any explanation. Had the Author sought to evade those delays and difficulties with which, in almost every paragraph, he has found it his duty to contend, another, and far easier, plan might have been chosen. A thoroughly scientific method seemed, however, more likely to prove useful. And, in the discussion of questions hitherto considered unsusceptible of general treatment or, perhaps, insufficiently known to men of science themselves, he has not endeavoured, by the invention of difficulties which in nature have no existence, to hide truth beneath the patchwork veil of a meagre quasi-originality.
