A First Book of Botany

by Elizabeth Healey

Macmillan and Co., 1909, [First Edition], black and white photographs and line drawings in text, hardcover

Very Good Condition, some edge and shelf wear, a little rubbing and bumping to edges and  corners, a little discoloration to covers, dates stamped on inside front covers (see photographs)

“Though a bird’s-eye view of the subject is presented, the intention throughout has been to provide work only on the elementary facts and principles of the science.
Observation and experiment are the dominating notes of the lessons, and from the beginning great stress is laid on the need for constant practice in accurate sketching from actual plant specimens.”
