BOTANY.

The Natural History of the Vegetable Kingdom is taught in
this class. It therefore treats of the Anatomy and Physiology
of Plants—the principles and classification employed in arranging
them according to the "Natural" and the "Artificial" methods,
and the characteristics of the various groups.

The applications of Botany to Materia Medica are constantly
kept in view, and incidental reference is had to the relations
which it sustains to Agriculture, Geology, and Physical Geography.
