    PREFACE TO THE SECOND ENGLISH EDITION. Although anything like a complete revision of the text has been impracticable, I have been enabled, through the liberality of the Publishers, to make several considerable and important additions both to the text and figures (mainly derived from the Second Edition of the Botanisches PracUcum), and the chapters upon “ Vascular Bundles ” and “ Bacteria ” have been to some extent re-written. A list of the most important of these changes will be found on page xii., at the end of the Contents. I hope that these additions will still further enhance the utility of the work to those for whom it is intended. I have likewise made a few verbal and other corrections, and, after much hesitation, have eliminated the square brackets wherever this has been feasible. I have most heartily to thank many correspondents here, in America, and elsewhere, for numerous notes, memoranda, and criticisms. Although I may not at present have been able to make use of them, these suggestions will not be lost sight of; and even should they never be used, I am none the less grateful for the kindly spirit which has prompted their transmission. August 1, 1889.
