Excerpt from An Introduction to the Structure and Reproduction of Plants

This volume has been prepared in response to the demand for a sequel to our Introduction to the Study of Plants, from which the minute structure and details of life-history, that require the use of a microscope for their proper comprehension, were purposely omitted.

Whilst the present volume is complete in itself, frequent references to the earlier book are included, and the two together form a comprehensive introduction to the science of Botany. Not only is the syllabus for all Higher School Examinations amply covered, but the two volumes will also be found to meet the needs of the first-year student at the Universities. Like its predecessor, however, the present work was compiled for those who really desire to learn something of the role of plants in nature, of their structure and of their mode of life, rather than merely to furnish another examination textbook.

With the aim of giving a better survey of the Vegetable Kingdom and presenting a more balanced concept, we have abandoned the study of isolated types in favour of a more general account, indicating the range of form and reproductive methods within each group. This has not resulted in an undue increase in the subject-matter, since we have omitted much developmental detail which has little educational value or significance, except for the specialist. With the object of widening the outlook of the student on the two aspects of botanical science treated in this volume, special chapters have been included dealing with ecological anatomy, and variation and heredity. Moreover, we have introduced such physiology as is more appropriately considered in relation to microscopic structure.
