Botany: A Junior Book for Schools

First published in 1927 as the third edition of a 1923 original, this popular book by Professor R. H. Yapp is a well-illustrated and easy-to-read introduction to botany. The text includes detailed botanical drawings and suggestions for simple practical experiments to be performed by the reader; as Yapp explains in his guide, ‘this book is intended to help you find things out for yourself, not merely to tell you what other people have found out’. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in botany or in the history of botanical education.
