Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

OECOLOGY OF PLANTS AN INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF PLANT -- NOTE -
IT is now some years since expectation became prevalent of an
English edition of Professor Warmings book-Plantesamfugzd. Nothing
need now be said about the difficulties opposing its pro- duction,
because Professor Warming has solved them happily by writing for
the Delegates of the Oxford Press this present book, founded upon
his original Danish work. To the manuscript, as it has been
prepared by and received from Professor Warming at intervals,
Professor Groom has applied with untiring patience his skill in
interpretation and in apt expression, and the book as it now
appears is therefore not an English edition of a foreign book-as
are others of the botanical series issued by the Dele- gates of the
Oxford Press, but is practically a new work, as the author himself
designates it. q The book is a valuable addition to botanical
literature, and will appeal to a wide audience. Its subject,
Oecology, is the field in which the botanical morphologist,
physiologist, and systema- tist happily meet, and to them this
statement of the views of a pioneer and leader in oecological work
will be welcome. Those whose interests lie in the practical
application of a knowledge of plant life in the several domains of
rural economy-Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry-will find in the
matters treated in the book the clue to many of the problems which
they meet with. Teachers within whose sphere it lies to encourage a
study of Nature will find its pages full of information. and
suggestion to guide them. Students of Botany will glean from it
sound instruc- tion in a subject which now occupies a prominent
place in botanical teaching. Every one, indeed, for whom the
varying aspects of vegetation have interest will obtain by perusal
of the book new lights by which that interest may be increased.

Danish work entitled Plantesamfzcnd, which was based upon lectures
that I had delivered in the University of Copenhagen. I never
imagined that the book would appeal to more than a few readers
outside my audience, and was therefore greatly surprised shortly
after its publication to receive from Dr. E. Knoblauch a request
for permission to prepare a German version of my book-an act of
courtesy, since Denmark had not subscribed to the Bern Convention,
and my book was thus public property. Thanks to Dr. Knob- lauchs
energy the German edition was published in 1896. In the short time
available I found it impossible to introduce more than trifling
changes into his edition, and was forced to post- pone the more
importantmodifications that I contemplated...
