Excerpt from Lectures on the Physiology of PlantsAfter the fourth edition of my 'text-book of Botany' (1874) had nearly passed out of print, I received from the publishers, as well as from botanical friends, repeated invitations to prepare a fifth edition. It is, however, an old experience that while one works up with pleasure a second and even a third edition of a comprehensive work, frequent repetition eventually becomes inconvenient or even painful to the author. Having experienced this sufficiently with the fourth edition, I was unable to make up my mind to a fifth. Apart from other circumstances, I was driven to this to an important extent by the progressive development of my scientific convictions. My mode of comprehending important questions of the Physiology of Plants had undergone changes in various directions, particularly in consequence of my compilation of the 'history of Botany'; like others, more or less subject to'the prevailing Opinions of the present, I had held as important matters which I was gradually impelled to recognise as insignificant and tran sitory; higher stand-points and freer prospects opened out to me in the course of time, and the form of my text-book would no longer adapt itself to the advanced view. The artist may touch up his composition here and there with a few strokes of the pencil, or even make greater alterations; but that is not sufficient when the composition itself has ceased to be the expression of his idea. This is the position in which I find myself with respect to my text-book, Since the chief thing in it to me is the composition, the form of the exposition as a whole.Moreover for several years past the wish had been taking a more and more definite form in my mind, to set forth the most important results of the physiology of plants in such a manner that not only students, but also wider circles, Should be interested in them. That Object, however, is only to be attained by a freer form of exposition, and I believe I have found it in the choice of lectures. It is not only the right but also the duty of any one who lectures, however, to place in the foreground his own mode Of viewing the matter; the audience wish to know and should know how the science as a whole shapes itself in the mind of the lecturer, and it is comparatively unimportant whether others think the same or otherwise.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

When the axis has attained a considerable length on the unfolding of the bud, the bases of the leaves generally grow at the same time in length and breadth, so that they entirely cover the surface of the enlarged shoot also, clothing it wiih a green cortex, in which the parts belonging to the separate leaves can be distinctly recognised. This is especially clear in Araucaria and many species of Pinus, but is very common also in other genera; in Thuja, Cupressus, Libocedrus, &c, the axis of the shoot is also completely covered with these leaf-cushions; but the free parts of the leaves are very small and often project only as short points or projections. The phyllotaxis is spiral in the Abietineae, Taxineae, Araucariex, Podocarpus, &c.; the Cupressineae bear whorls which, above the cotyledons, contain generally from three to five leaves, but usually fewer at a greater height on the primary axis. The secondary axes usually begin at once with decussate pairs, which, in bilateral shoots, are alternately larger and smaller (as in Callitris and Libocedrus); in Juniperus and Frenela the whorls on the secondary axes also consist of from three to five leaves, and are alternate; the pairs of leaves of Dammara stand at an acute angle to one another. The foliageleaves of most Conifers are very persistent, and may live for several years, their leafcushions keeping pace in growth for a long time with the increase in size of the axis; in Larix and Salisburia the leaves alone are deciduous in autumn, in Taxodium distichum the axes that bear them are also deciduous. The Flowers of Coniferae are always diclinous; either monoe...

Excerpt from Text-Book of Botany, Morphological and PhysiologicalThe historical development of botanical views and theories does not seem to come within the scope of a Text-book of Botany, and would only interfere with'the unity of design of the work. It would therefore be superfluous to quote scientific works which have only a historical interest. In the references which will be found in the work the chief object has been to introduce the student to those writings in which he will find a fuller discussion of those parts of the subject which have been only touched on briefly. In some cases the writings of others have been quoted because they represent views different from those of the author, and because it is desirable to place the student in a posi tion to form a judgment for himself. Others again of the references are simply for the purpose of citing the authorities on which reliance is placed for state ments that have not come within the range of the author's own observation. The reader of this work will at least learn the names and standing of those workers who have in recent times' contributed most essentially to the science of which it treats.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
