“Even if the name of the author of this work were not deservedly eminent, that of the editor, who has long stood at the head of the British fungologists, would be a sufficient voucher for the accuracy of one of the best botanical monographs ever issued from the press.... The structure, germination, and growth of all these widely-diffused organisms, their habitats and influences for good and evil, are systematically described.”—New York World.
“Dr. Cooke’s book contains an admirable résumé of what is known on the structure, growth, and reproduction of fungi, together with ample bibliographical references to original sources of information.”—London Athenæum.
“The production of a work like the one now under review represents a large amount of laborious, difficult, and critical work, and one in which a serious slip or fatal error would be one of the easiest matters possible, but, as far as we are able to judge, the new hand-book seems in every way well suited to the requirements of all beginners in the difficult and involved study of fungology.”—The Gardener’s Chronicle (London).
