Excerpt from Th Living Plant: A Description and Interpretation of Its Functions and Structure As to the method of treatment in particular, I have sought especially to interpret those phenomena of plant life which come within ordinary observation and experience, penetrating just deeply enough into each to make clear the principle of its opera tion, - the theory of the thing in popular phrase; - and some times that has taken me far and sometimes it has not. Thus is explained the absence of some matters of high technical interest, which lie, however, outside the experience of the general observer. Where explanations are concerned, I have given the known ones when there are any, and when these are lacking I have not hesitated to supply suggestions of my own, though in a way designed to show their hypothetical character. As to statements of fact, I have meant to present only those which have acquired the impersonal validity of science, for which reason I have omitted a good many of the newest ideas, even at the risk of seeming not to know them; for I have noticed that he who is too closely up to date in science has later a good deal to unlearn.
