Excerpt from Some Recent Researches in Plant PhysiologyThe general aim of the book is to present to senior students and investigators the results of recent work in a few of those branches of plant physiology which are at present attracting attention. Matter already to be found in text books has been almost entirely excluded.In order to preserve to some extent a historical method of treatment, the date is inserted after the name of each worker, and is followed by a numeral to show to which paper reference is being made in cases where more than one were published in a year.By such a presentation of portions of the science which are still in a state of rapid growth, it is hoped that further investigation will be stimulated. The choice of material by the author was, to a considerable degree, in¿uenced by his familiarity with certain subjects of general interest, portions of which are being studied experimentally by the staff of the School of Botany, Trinity College, Dublin. Upon these, rather than upon other researches of equal or greater importance, he has felt qualified to write, on account of his first-hand knowledge of many of the methods employed. A small amount of hitherto unpublished work has also been included.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
