ABSTRACT THIS is an extraordinary book, difficult alike to characterise and to review. It is a monument of enormous labour and erudition, but it is not easy to discover the plan upon which
it is compiled, and it certainly does not fulfil the promise of its title. A “chronological history of plants ” would be an interesting and valuable work, if understood to mean a history of
the ages and countries in which particular plants have been introduced from abroad, or those of home growth first adapted to the use of man. This, indeed, is the work which Dr. Pickering
seems to have contemplated; it is not, however, the work which he has accomplished. _Chronological History of Plants: Man's Record of his own Existence illustrated through their Names,
Uses, and Companionship_. By Charles Pickering (Boston: Little, Brown, and Co.; London: Trübner and Co., 1879.) Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of
