Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Botany, Vol. 1 of 2: Or Outlines of the Natural History of Vegetables
That period has not yet arrived. I have, however, the satisfaction of observing, that these sciences are making some, nay even great, advances among us; and I still flatter myself, that the directors of our principal American universities, or other seminaries of learning, but, in particular, the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania (in which all the branches OF ME dical science are taught much more exten sively than IN any other part OF the united state will see the propriety, and even necessity, of giving more substantial encouragement for the exten sion of Natural History among us.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of botany, providing a detailed and insightful exploration of the structure and function of plants. The author, writing in the early 19th century, presents a systematic approach to understanding plants, drawing on the work of renowned botanists like Linnaeus and Malpighi. He challenges traditional notions about plant anatomy, such as the idea that the bulb is not a true root, and proposes new classifications for different types of stems. The book is not only a guide to plant identification but also a treatise on the science of plant life. The author discusses the ways in which plants adapt to their environment, including parasitic plants that rely on other plants for sustenance, and explores the intriguing relationship between plant structure and their ability to reproduce. He examines the role of climate and cultivation in shaping the life cycle of plants, highlighting the remarkable plasticity of these organisms. This book offers a fascinating window into the history of botanical thought and reveals the enduring fascination with the intricacies of the plant world.
