The North American Review places DR.. Gray
" at the head of the science in this country"
and DR.. Barnard says in The American Journal
OF Education, that the works of Prof. Gray
=" stand above the ordinary position and rivalry
of school books. 1t is one of the few instances
where scientific man of the very highest rank
has devoted himself to the preparation of a text
book"
Prof John Torrey, of the Z. S. Assay Office,
who may be regarded as the father of American
Botany, writes "Gray's Manual, with the New
Lessons in Botany and Botanical Text Book,
are all that can be desired by teachers of this
branch of science, in our Schools, Academies
and Colleges"
