The second edition - revised and enlarged - contains a letter kindly sent to the Author by the Revd. W. E. Layton. It was written by a friend of Linnaeus to Mr. Layton's ancestor, Philip Miller, the well-known curator of the Garden. The letter shews that it was, without doubt, the Apothecaries' Garden which brought Linnaeus to England. Many additions have also been made to the chapter describing the trees. But it must not be thought that there are trees now in the Garden which cannot be found elsewhere, for Kew Gardens have supplied London Parks with trees of many kinds - Battersea Park, in 1856, receiving no less than five thousand, with the present happy result. This new edition also contains further notes on Linnaeus, and on his two pupils, Kalm and Fabricius. Item #420

"Throughout the textbook we have tried as far as possible to avoid the use of technical language. For example, the term "fall group" is used instead of "thesis" and "rise group" instead of "arsis." Even in treating the nature of a Latin word the term "rise" is sometimes adopted for the accented syllable and "fall" for the grave syllable of a word. The translations of the Greek and Latin names for the neumes are supplied as a teaching aid since the picture conjured up by the English word is more graphic than the foreign term, especially in the teaching of younger students."

In 1904, Brooks left Canada to work as a tutor in physics at Barnard College in New York City. It was not easy for a woman graduate in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century to find employment, especially in Canada. Even after she had secured a position at Barnard, she had to fight to establish her right to continue as a member of the faculty. The authors follow Brooks across the Atlantic, where she travelled to Italy with Maxim Gorky and his entourage, and on to Paris, where she worked for a short while with Marie Curie.
