Sinossi

Excerpt from Domestic Botany: An Exposition of the Structure and Classification of Plants; And of Their Uses for Food, Clothing, Medicine, and Manufacturing Purposes

That one or more such catastrophes, either universal or local, have occurred at long unknown intervals of time, is evident from the numerous fossil remains and imprints of plants and animals found preserved in various condi tions under or on the surface of the earth, such being of remarkable forms and quite distinct from any now living.

It is the purpose of this work, however, to speak only of the plants now living on the earth.

In the Bible we find about one hundred different kinds recorded, with the uses of many of them specified, which with other evidence has enabled us to identify about one; half with plants Of the present day, while others remain doubtful.
