The botanist Asa Gray (1810-88) was important in unifying taxonomic knowledge of North American flora. The first volume of this 1889 two-volume selection edited by Charles Sprague Sargent (1841-1927) includes Gray's reviews of important scientific publications, illuminating the development of botanical literature over a period of fifty-three years.
