| 517will meet the wants of our classes and
I expect to introduce it in the Literary
Dept of the University the second semester
of the coming college year. During
the first semester my work is with
the Pharmacy students and [??] advanced
students of the Literary Dept.
It would not be right for me to
attempt a criticism of the work until
I have actually tried it, still I may
give a frew impressions regarding it.
1 – The [?] of the work is admirable,
[?] as it does in concise and
clear language the leading facts of
structure, physiology and classification
and [?] out more fully than usual
the [sic.] history of reproduction and
development. I have felt obliged to
give my classes from year to year a
[?] of lecture nearly [?] in plan
with this and shall now feel relieved
[Page Break]
by having a suitable work to which I
can [?] them to be used in connection
with the lecture and which is
within their means of purchasing.
2 – The execution though cabable of improvement
in some cases (e.g. [?] 65 p
245) appears to me unusually [?].
The whole work is [attractive?] in [journal?]
make-up, the type [?] and the
figures, as far as I have opportunity of
judging accurate. On the whole
Professor Bessey deserves the thanks of
teachers of botany in this country for
introducing what appears to be so good
a work and it will doubtless meet
with a kind reception at their hands.
You may possibly like to look over
a syllabus of one of my courses of
lectures, it is not however the one to
which I referred above [?] of which
I have no printed scheme at present. | 517will meet the wants of our classes and
