“The importance of this little book is quite out of proportion to its size. He writes with evident honesty. It is a crystallized statement of much that had been in solution, as it were, heretofore; it makes us know where the majority of modern scientists stand with regard to the only matters that they themselves consider more important than science itself.”

Osterhout, Winthrop John Van Leuven. Experiments with plants; with a preface by L. H. Bailey. [*]$1.25. Macmillan.
In this convenient handbook “Professor Osterhout of the University of California has given us hints for the experimental study of living-plants by means of the very simplest apparatus ... and suggests innumerable contrivances which are to be made off-hand in any house, and with which the plant can be severely cross-examined.... It is one of the most helpful laboratory handbooks, and it deserves wide employment in all classes of plant-laboratories.” (Nation.)
“On the whole we may commend it as one of the very best of its class, and in some respects in advance of any similar book known to us. An excellent index adds to its value.”
