Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, 1878, Vol. 15 The following contribution towards a history of the known species of North American plants needs little of introduction or explanation, and nothing of excuse. With the purpose of giving a clew to whatever may have been published respecting each species, all the accessible works touching upon the systematic botany of this country, since the adoption of the Linnean system of nomen clature, have been consulted, including those in the library of the Cambridge Herbarium and the general library of Harvard Univer sity, the Public Library of Boston, the library of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, and others of less importance, and to some extent also the Congressional Library at Washington.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, 1910, Vol. 54 Any discussion, or any indication even, of landmarks in the history of botany must needs be preceded by a somewhat careful enquiry into the nature and purposes of the science as such. Where in does botany, as a science, essentially consist? With this question unanswered it were impracticable either to indicate the origin or trace the progress Of it. In the most extended use Of the term, all information about the plant world or any part of it is botany. According to this View, all treatises upon agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, forestry, and pharmacy, in so far as they deal with plants and their products, are botanical.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, 1928, Vol. 80 If we had but to describe the thorax as it is, the task of the anato mist would not be a simple one, but it is always necessary to look beyond the facts that confront us and to discover the more funda mental structures upon which they are reared, an undertaking which requires redoubled effort, but without which there can be no true morphology.

This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 830 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, 1883, Vol. 27 The purpose of this paper is distinctly not critical, and the remarks I have added to, or inserted in, the digest are simply explanatory. I have, however, frequently mentioned criticisms which have appeared in literature when they seemed pertinent. As for the accuracy with which the digests have been made, I may state that the preponderating importance of this point has been constantly before my mind. In the effort to crowd the maximum amount of information into the fewest words, I have had occasion to refer to most of the papers digested a number of times, and at long inter vals. I have always taken advantage of such occasions, as well as those on which I have met with a reprint, transla tion or abstract Of a determination, to verify the rough draughts of my digests. Only in a couple of instances have I thus discovered a trifling error. On the other hand, I have been able to detect and point out numerous misprints and miscalculations in the original sources. While, there fore, I cannot hope entirely to have escaped error in the thousands of values I have copied, and the almost 'equal number of calculations I have made, I have strong hopes that the accuracy of this digest will be found at least on a par with that Of the original papers.
