"In Dr. Balfour's 'Class-Book of Botany,' the author seems to have exhausted every attainable source of information. Few, if any, works on this subject contain such a mass of carefully collected and condensed matter, and certainly none are more copiously or better illustrated."--Hooker's Journal of Botany.

"Professor Balfour's 'Class Book of Botany' is too well and favourably known to botanists, whether teachers or learners, to require any introduction to our readers. It is, as far as we know, the only work which a lecturer can take in his hand as a safe text-book for the whole of such a course as is required to prepare students for our University or medical examinations. Every branch of botany, structural and morphological, physiological, systematic, geographical, and palæontological, is treated in so exhaustive a manner, as to leave little to be desired.

"The work is one indispensable to the class-room, and should be in the hands of every teacher."--Nature.

"The voluminous and profusely illustrated work of Dr. Balfour is too well known to need any words of comment."--Lancet.
