NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
"This volume is well qualified to receive popular approval, but it has, beyond this, other recommendations. It is a first-class book, and it is a first-class scientific book as regards its execution.... As a scientific book, the authors have well done their part too; for they have given us a clear, correct, and comprehensive scientific account of the plants they have treated on, adding such popular information as the subject admitted of; and they have given us, in addition, well-executed magnified dissections of the parts essential for scientific study."—Illustrated London News.
"For this kind of work Nature-Printing is exactly adapted. Every delicate and inimitable ramification is most attractively and accurately represented. The fifty-six plates in this volume can scarcely be surpassed, and have not, as far as we know, been equalled.... We have found them pleasing, and still pleasing during several inspections. The volume is handsomely got up, and will make a very attractive drawing-room table-book at home or at the sea-side."—Athenæeum.
"The process by which it is produced is that delightful one which has been a labour of love to Mr. Henry Bradbury in bringing to perfection, and which was first applied to the Ferns. To speak of the accuracy of the plates is of course a misnomer. They are of the nature of photographs; and the only possible drawback to the work is, that its extreme beauty will banish to the drawing-room table, as a mere example of pretty drawing, what, as a scientific manual, has not been equalled.—Saturday Review.
