Written by America's "foremost bryologist." "Far more important was his contribution to the second edition (1856) of Gray's Manual of a synoptical illustrated treatise upon the bryophytes. This was republished separately as The Musci...(1856), and it laid the foundation for subsequent bryological studies in the United States." --DAB.
