Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Lichens: With a Supplement and Ten Plates
My object in writing the following pages has been, first, to give a general answer, to the best. Of my ability, to questions which are frequently addressed to me, to which I cannot devote the time to reply to individually and second, to prepare the way in some meas ure for the study of the great writers on the subject, and especially of the late Professor Tuckerman, whose works, in the present state of our knowledge, are the best authority and guide to the American student. If these objects shall in any degree have been aecom plished, my aim will have been reached.
