Excerpt from Familiar Lectures on Botany, Practical, Elementary, and Physiological: With a New and Full Description of the Plants of the United States, and Cultivated Exotics, &C.; For the Use of Seminaries, Private Students, and Practical Botanists

The best time for commencing botanical studies seems to no that of the opening of ﬂowers in the spring; though, where circumstances render it convenient to begin in winter, assistance is offered by engravings. The arrangement of subjects mi ht be altered, in pursuing the study without the aid of natural ﬂmoers. He Second part, which treats of the various organs of plants, the formation of buds, and other subjects connected with vegetable physiology; the Fourth part, which gives the history of the science, with the distinctions in the kingdoms of nature, might be studied to advantage, before attending much to the principles of classification, which are mostly illustrated in the First and Third parts.
