Excerpt from First Lessons in Botany: Designed for Common Schools in the United States

In using the Flora, let the teacher inform his pupils at the commencement, that the design of it is not now to make them acquainted with the Flora of the country, but simply to teach them how to analyze plants therefore they must not expect to find in this little work anything like a full account of all our plants, but only a few plain exercises by which they may trace every Flowering Plant in the United States to its Natural Order, about one in every two to its Genus, and about one in every five to its Species. In conducting an exercise in this Flora with a class of pupils who have well studied the former part of the work, some method like the following would be interesting and profitable. Suppose your class assembled, and each pupil supplied with a specimen of some one species of plants both in flower and with fruit.
