Summary: "Introduction to the Study of Palæontological Botany" by John Hutton Balfour is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the study of fossilized plants and their significance in understanding the evolution of vegetation through geological time periods. As a treatise, it merges botanical and geological knowledge, indicating the importance of living flora and fauna in interpreting the characteristics and classifications of fossil plants. At the start of the volume, Balfour emphasizes the relevance of fossil botany in comprehending the historical transformations of life on Earth. He discusses the necessity for students of palæontology to possess a thorough understanding of modern botany to accurately classify and study fossil plants. The opening portion lays a foundational understanding of palæophytology, detailing how plants of various epochs underwent changes influenced by the Earth's evolving physical and climatic conditions, and highlights the roles of prominent scientists and fellow educators in advancing this field of study.
