Excerpt from The Vegetable Kingdom, or the Structure, Classification, and Uses of Plants: Illustrated Upon the Natural System

Having stated thus much by way of preface, it only now'remains to explain; the plan of the work in its new form. Its object is to give a concise view of the state of Systematical Botany at the present day, to show the relation or supposed relation of one group of plants to another, to explain their geographical distribution, and to point out the various uses to which the species are applied in different countries. The names of all known genera, with their synonyms, are given under each Natural Order, the numbers of the genera and species are in every case computed from what seems to be the best authority, and complete Indices of the multitudes of names embodied in the work are added, so as to enable a Botanist to know immediately under what Natural Order a given genus is stationed, or what the uses are to which any species has been applied. Finally, the work is copiously illustrated by wood and glyphographic cuts, and for. The convenience of Students, an artificial analysis of the system is placed at the end. Some of these points demand a few words of comment.
