Reseña del editor

The want of some especial Treatise on Cryptogamic Plants has long been felt by British botanists. The last edition of theE nglish translation of Sprengel sI ntroduction to theS tudy of Cryptogamic Plants appeared in 1819; and whatever the merits of that work may be, it is wholly inadequate to supply the requisite information now. Dr. Burnett sO vM vnes of Botany contained some valuable notices respecting Cryptogams; and more recently, The Vegetable Kingdom of Dr. Lindley, especially the second edition of that admirable work, has brought together a mass of information, which is a most important acquisition to the student who has not access to the multitudinous works in which more modern discoveries are registered. Nor must I pass without notice The Micrographic Dictionary of Dr. Griffith and Mr. Henfrey, remarkable alike for the copiousness of the matter and the beauty of many of the illustrations. These, however, are not special treatises, nor calculated to supply completely the necessities of the student. Nor, indeed, can I point out any treatise in a foreign language, a translation of which would have come up completely to the requisite standard. Bischoff sK ryptogamische Gewdchse is admirable as far as it goes, but the design so ably begun was never completed; Eisengrein sE inleitung is without illustrations, and extends only to algae and lichens; and Payer sB otanique Gryptogamique, notwithstanding the beauty and correctness of its very numerous engravings, is too slight in many parts to supply all that may reasonably be required, nor would it be possible for any English publisher, without the use of the original steel blocks, to reproduce it with any chance of remuneration.
