This article presents information regarding the book "The Botanical Text-Book," by Asa Gray. Since the "Botanical Text-Book" was last re-written the various departments of botanical science, as structural, physiological, cryptogamic, and even systematic botany as applied to flowering plants, have been studied more deeply, and correspondingly with more satisfactory results, than ever before. Up to the year 1859 structural botany was, in the main, only descriptive. In that year Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species" was given to the world, and from that time the teleological signification of form and structure has been studied with the closest scrutiny.
