Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to Botany Enough work has been outlined in this book for a year's course in those schools that are prepared, by suitable time allotted to the subject and by laboratory equipment, to do comprehensive and thorough work. A term could be devoted to the work outlined in Chapters I to X inclusive; and where the daily laboratory periods are one hour or less, the entire school year could be profitably occupied by the course there outlined. It is, of course, presumed that the teacher will select from the book such work as the possibilities of his school warrant. It is not expected that each student will perform all of the physiological experiments herein outlined; but different experiments are to be assigned to individuals or groups of students, the results to be used for purpose of demonstration before the entire class. Much stress is laid on laboratory work, which is to be done with the utmost possible care and accuracy, not only that the student may respect his work and that the knowledge gained may be exact, but also that the fine opportunity which the study of plants so richly affords for training in seeing and interpreting facts, may not be passed by.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Botany Two hundred and ninety years have now elapsed since one of the earliest introductions to Botany upon record was published, in four pages folio, by Leonhart Fuchs, a learned physician of Tubingen. At that period Botany was nothing more than the art of' distinguishing one plant from another, and of' remembering the medical. Qualities, sometimes real, but more frequently imaginary, which experience, or error, or superstition, had ascribed to them. Little was known of Vegetable Physiology, nothing of Vege table Anatomy, and even the art of arranging species' systematically had still to be discovered; While scarcely a trace existed of those modern views which have raised the science from the mere business of the herb-gatherer to a station among the most intel lectual branches of natural philosophy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Botany IN writing this little introduction to the study of a plant I have endeavoured especially to present it to the reader as a living organism. Botany is now regarded as a branch of biology, and is not satisfactorily studied by gathering plants and, after ascertaining their names and the natural orders to which they belong, drying them and putting them away in a cabinet. I have tried to present them as they are engaged in the struggle for existence, and to call my readers' attention not only to their form and structure but especially to what they do in life, and why and how they do it. I hope that those who study them by the assistance of this little primer will try to have the living plant under observation while' they read it. I have not written any detailed scheme of. Laboratory work, but I hope my readers will be able to construct such a scheme for themselves as they follow the directions for study given in the text.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to the Study of Common Plants: An Introduction to Botany In the second edition, prepared in response to helpful suggestions from many teachers, a glossary and index, together with a chapter on fungi, have been added and several minor changes introduced. The arrangement re mains substantially as before, but teachers who prefer to start with the simpler forms and proceed to the more highly developed ones can readily do so by beginning with the section on algae, instead of following the order of the book. To those who approach the work in a scientific spirit, it is superﬂuous to say that the student's intellectual life has a developmental history which it is quite as need ful to take into account as the genetic succession of plants. There can hardly be more interesting problems than those presented to the teacher in his relation to this higher realm of biological science.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plant World: Its Past, Present, and Future; An Introduction to the Study of Botany It must be clearly understood that the above equation does not profess to Show all the various changes under gone by the crude material during its transformation into starch; all that is intended is to show the propor tions of the various chemical elements before and after the change. Carbonic dioxide and water are both inorganic sub stances that is, their chemical composition is not necessarily the result of life; on the other hand, starch is an organic substance, because its chemical constitution is determined by a living body, or by life. From the above it will be seen that the material composing the bodies of animals and plants is not of a kind peculiar to themselves, but consists of the most abundant of chemical elements forming inorganic matter, so that organic matter only means the rearrangement of the elements or constituents of inorganic matter in new proportions, and this is true of every organic product, whether animal or vegetable. It will have been observed that food is indispensable to the well-being of the individual; but in spite of an un diminished food supply, individuals do not continue to live on for ever, but in every form of life there is a limit to the existence of the individual terminating in death, and which is shadowed in under normal conditions by the lessened physical and chemical activity of the entire organism, resulting in the liberation of less energy, which to a great extent constitutes the ow of life manifested during the earlier period of the existence of an indi vidual.

Part I. is revised, and illustrations have been added; Part II. is now issued for the first time. There are many who would like to have a sound, though but an elementary, knowledge of Flowering Plants. This, I hope, "Flower-Land" will give them in a readable form: though such readers might omit, at their discretion, the portions mentioned below.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Structural Botany, Vol. 1: Flowering Plants This book is intended as a first guide to the study of the structure of plants. Botany is now taught in schools of all kinds, and wherever Botany is taught it has become customary to expect some knowledge of the construction of plants, and of the function of their organs. All that I have airned at in this book is to secure that such knowledge, when first acquired, shall be correct as far as it goes. My purpose has been to write an Introduction to Structural Botany, not a manual of Botany in general. It is absolutely necessary that schoolboys and girls, if they are to learn this science at all, should also gain a knowledge of plants in the field. For this part of the work a guide is necessary, and some such book as Professor Oliver's Lessons in Elementary Botany is indispensable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Plants: An Introduction to Botany and Plant Ecology The course of work followed in this book is directed, in the main, to the establishment of the fundamental principles of Plant Physiology. Plant Morphology receives a less extended treatment; but this aspect of the subject is freely introduced in the discussion of Plant Ecology, i. E. The relation of the structure and functions of plants to their habitat. More space has been devoted to Ecology than is usual in an ele mentary text-book, but the Author believes that this aspect of plant life gives to field work a more definite aim, and broadens the outlook of the student by linking up Botany with the study of climate, geology, and topography. Similarly, to avoid the weariness of lessons dealing merely with the comparison of forms, the Author has throughout treated the forms of roots, stems, and leaves in relation to their functions and to the habitat of the plant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A d104-Book of Botany IT is customary to place all living beings in either the animal 01 vegetable kingdoms, but in reality a sharp boundary line between animals and plants first becomes possible when they exhibit a complicated structure. In those of more simple organisation all distinctions disappear, and it becomes difficult to define the exact limits of Botany and Zoology. This, in fact, could scarcely be otherwise, as all the processes of life, in both the animal and vegetable kingdoms, are dependent On the same substance, protoplasm. With more complicated organisation, the specific differences increase, and the characteristics distinguishing animal from vegetable life become more obvious. For the present, it must be confessed, the recognition Of an organism, as an animal or a plant, is dependent upon its corre spondence with an abstract idea of what a plant or animal Should be, .based on certain points of agreement between the members of each class. A satisfactory basis for the Separation of all living organisms into the categories of animals or plants can only be obtained when it is shown that all organisms distinguished as animals are in reality genetically connected, and that a similar connection exists between all plants. The proof of this can only be arrived at through the theory OF evolution. From the study of the fossil remains and impressions Of animals and plants, it has been established that in former epochs forms Of life. Differing from those of the present age existed on the earth. It is also generally assumed that all living animals and plants have been derived by gradual modification from previously existing forms. This leads to the further conclusion that those organisms possess ing closely Similar structure, which are united as species in a genus, are in reality related to one another. It is also probable that the union of corresponding genera into one familv and of families into higher groups serves to give expression to a real relationship existing between them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Botany, Vol. 1 of 2 The principles of such a science must necessarily be complicated, and in certain branches, which have only for a short time occupied the attention of observers, or which depend upon obscure and ill-understood evidence, are less clearly defined than could be wished. To explain those principles; to adduce the evidence by which their truth is supposed to be proved, or the reasoning upon which they are based in cases where direct proof is unattainable to show the causes of errors now exploded, the insufficiency of the arguments by which doubtful theories are still defended, and, in fine, to draw a line between-what is certain and what is doubtful, are some of the objects of this publication, which is intended for the use of. Those who, without being willing to occupy themselves with a detailed examination of the vast mass of evidence upon which the modern science of botany is founded, are, neverthe less, anxious-to acquire a distinct idea of the nature of that evidence.' Another and not less important purpose has been, to demonstrate, by a series of well-connected proofs, that in no department of natural history are the simplicity and harmony that pervade the universe more strikingly manifest that in the vegetable kingdom, where the most varied forms are produced by the combination ofa very small number of distinct organs, and the most important phenomena are distinctly explained by a few simple laws of _life and structure.
