PREFACE BY THE EDITOR.
As my name appears on the title-page of this volume, it is necessary that I should
exactly state what part I had in its preparation. I had no doubt originally engaged to
undertake the work myself; but finding, from multiplicity of engagements and my
uncertain health, that I could not accomplish it satisfactorily, I thought the best course
I could take was to recommend Mr. Cooke to the publishers; a gentleman well known,
not only in this country, but in the United States. The whole of the work has therefore
been prepared by himself, the manuscript and proof sheets being submitted to me from
time to time, in which I merely suggested such additions as seemed needful,
subjoining occasionally a few notes. As the work is intended for students, the author
has had no hesitation in vi repeating what has been stated in former chapters where it
has been thought to prove useful. I have no doubt that the same high character will
justly apply to this as to Mr. Cooke’s former publications, and especially to his
“Handbook of British Fungi.”
