Synopsis
Introduction To The Science Of Botany by Charles Frederick Partington. This classic, English-language primer offers a concise history and practical study of the vegetable kingdom. Partington traces the rise of botany as a science from ancient inquiries through Theophrastus and Aristotle to the Renaissance and the subsequent development of classification by Linnaeus and his successors. The work is organized around lectures that define botany’s two main branches—physiology and systematical botany—and then describe the essential parts and functions of plants: roots, stems, leaves, and the organs of fructification, including seed formation, germination, and the variety of fruit types (legumes, cones, berries, drupes, and more). It covers the Linnaean system, later natural classifications, and cryptogamic plants, with emphasis on experimental observation and the use of illustrations to convey complex ideas. Richly illustrated, the volume aims to render botanical science accessible, stripping excessive technicalities and highlighting the unity of nature and the divine order in the vegetable world.
