Excerpt from Vegetable Physiology Systematic Botany
The object of the following Treatise is to communicate such a general view of the structure and growth of plants, and of their natural classification, as should be at the same time popular in its form and scientific in its principles. The botanist has too frequently concerned himself, almost or quite exclusively, about the collection of specimens, the examination of their external characters, and the determination of their names; all the wonders and beauties of their internal structure, and the interest derivable from the observation of the uses of their several parts or organs, being very commonly overlooked.
