The distinguished British naturalist Thomas Andrew Knight (1759-1838) devoted himself to the emerging science of horticulture, and his interest in plant physiology and structure is evident in this collection of papers, published in 1841. Today Knight is particularly associated with his many and successful experiments in fruit-tree breeding.
