Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Botany, independently of any other circumstance, ought to stand high in the estimation of those who have more leisure than they know well how to get rid of. So long as every plant that intrudes itself unbidden into the garden or the corn field is stigmatised as a weed, and every flower that may blow by the way side, though it beautify the hedge bank or the green lane, or though, in the fine poetical language of Scripture, it cause the wilderness and the solitary place to be glad, and the desert to rejoice and blossom as the rose so long, I say, as such are passed unheeded by those who walk abroad in the fields, they might almost as well be previously blindfolded, since they must overlook many thousand beauties, which theB otanist everywhere discovers, and must lose more than half the pleasure they might otherwise enjoy. I was about fifteen when I took my first botanical ramble with Withering sB ritish Plants under my arm, and the fresh enthusiasm of youth to spur me onward in the path of knowledge. The day, I recollect, was one of the loveliest in what Coleridge so expressively calls the leafy month of June ;and I soon found a spot on the banks of the A yr, where there were more flowers than it was possible for a mere beginner to master, even with a long summers day at his command.
