Excerpt from The British and Foreign Medical Review, or Quarterly Journal of Practical Medicine and Surgery, Vol. 4: July-October 1837
The work of Professor Renslow, being written for a popular series, is more adapted to the general than to the medical reader. It contains an extremel clear outline of many departments of the science, and forms an ex t introduction to the study of botany; but it is deficient in those higher and more general views which are so interesting to the advanced student. It cannot be doubted, from the author's high reputation as a botanist, that he could have introduced more of novelty in his illustrations; but any deficiency in this respect is counterbalanced by the lucid manner in which he has stated his Views on several disputed questions of great interest, some of which we shall hereafter notice more particularly.
