"The volume of my scientific lectures which contains a chapter on flowers being now almost out of print, Messrs. MacMillan have proposed to me that I should reprint that chapter, together with two subsequent lectures, one on fruits and seeds, the other on leaves, as an additional volume in their Nature Series, under the title of "Flowers, Fruits & Leaves". To this I have gladly assented, and have taken the opportunity to make several corrections and additions, as well as to insert several new illustrations."
