Excerpt from An Elementary Course of Botany: Structural, Physiological, and Systematic
In the preparation of this edition so much has been added, and so much modified, that to some extent the book may be considered as a new one. Nevertheless, the Editor has, as far as possible, worked on the plan laid down by Prof. Henfrey, and explained by him in the following quotation from the original Preface. Adverting to some remarks made by Sir Joseph Hooker and Dr. Thomson to the effect that
"disservice is done to the cause of Botany by occupying the attention of students in the first instance with the abstract parts of the science,"
Prof. Henfrey remarks, in terms as applicable now as at the time they were first written (1857), that
"The largest class of students of Botany are those who pursue the subject as one included in the prescribed course of medical education. One short course of Lectures is devoted to this science, and three months is commonly all the time allotted to the teacher for laying the foundations and building the superstructure of a knowledge of Botany in the minds of his pupils, very few of whom come prepared even with the roost rudimentary acquaintance with the science. To direct the attention of the student to a series of isolated facts and abstract propositions relating to the elementary anatomy of plants, is to cause him to charge his memory or his note-book with materials in which he can take but little interest, from his incapacity to perceive their value or applications. Some of the most important questions of Physiology are as yet in no very advanced state, and the conflicting evidence on many of these cannot be properly appreciated without an extensive knowledge of plants.
