| Summary | "The Manual of the Botany of the Northern United States" by Asa Gray is a scientific publication likely written in the late 19th century. This manual serves as a comprehensive guide to the flora of the United States, focusing on botanical species found east of the Mississippi River and north of North Carolina and Tennessee. The text is aimed at both students and practitioners of botany, providing detailed descriptions and classifications of various plant species in the region. At the start of the manual, the preface outlines the evolution of the work through several editions, the contributions made by the current editors in extending and revising the content, and the importance of maintaining Dr. Gray's principles and methodologies. The editors express their dedication to upholding the high standards established in previous editions while expanding the work to include more recent advances in systematic botany. The beginning also mentions the geographical limits and distribution of plants covered in the manual, indicating a thoughtful approach to the study of botany that takes into account both historical context and contemporary developments.
