Sinopsis
Excerpt from First Lessons in Botany and Vegetable Physiology
It is by no means indispensable for students to go through the volume before commencing with the analysis of plants. When the proper season for botanizing arrives, and when the first twelve Lessons have been gone over, they may take up Lesson XXVIII. And the following ones, and pro ceed to study the various wild plants they find in blossom, in the manner illustrated in Lesson XXX, &c., referring to the Glossary, and thence to the pages of the Lessons, as directed, for explanations of the various distinctions and terms they meet with. Their first essays will necessarily be rather tedious, if not difficult; but each successful attempt smooths the way for the next, and soon these technical terms and distinctions will become nearly as familiar as those of ordinary language. Students who, having mastered this elementary work, wish to extend their acquaintance with Vegetable Anatomy and Physiology, and to con sider higher questions about the structure and classification of plants, will be prepared to take up the author's Botanical text-book, or other more detailed treatises. No care and expense have been spared upon the illustrations of this volume; which, with one or two exceptions, are all original. They were drawn from nature by Mr. Sprague, the most accurate of living botanical artists, and have been as freely introduced as the Size to which it was needful to restrict the volume would warrant.

Excerpt from First Lessons in Botany and Vegetable Physiology: Illustrated by Over 360 Wood Engravings, From Original Drawings
This book is intended for the use of beginners, and for classes in the common and higher schools, - in which the elements of Botany, one of the most generally interesting of the Natural Sciences, surely ought to be taught, and to be taught correctly, as far as the instruction proceeds. While these Lessons are made as plain and simple as they well can be, all the subjects treated of have been carried far enough to make the book a genuine Grammar of Botany and Vegetable Physiology, and a sufficient introduction to those works in which the plants of a country - especially of our own - are described.
Accordingly, as respects the principles of Botany (including Vegetable Physiology), this work is complete in itself, as a school-book for younger classes, and even for the students of our higher seminaries. For it comprises a pretty full account of the structure, organs, growth, and reproduction of plants, and of their important uses in the scheme of creation, - subjects which certainly ought to be as generally understood by all educated people as the elements of Natural Philosophy or Astronomy are; and which are quite as easy to be learned.
The book is also intended to serve as an introduction to the author's Manual of the Botany of the Northern United States (or to any similar work describing the plants of other districts), and to be to it what a grammar and a dictionary are to a classical author. It consequently contains many terms and details which there is no necessity for young students perfectly to understand in the first instance, and still less to commit to memory, but which they will need to refer to as occasions arise, when they come to analyze flowers, and ascertain the names of our wild plants.
To make the book complete in this respect, a full Glossary, or Dictionary of Terms used in describing Plants, is added to the volume. This contains very many words which are not used in the Manual of Botany; but as they occur in common botanical works, it was thought best to introduce and explain them. All the words in the Glossary which seemed to require it arc accented.
