Excerpt from Popular Field Botany: Containing a Familiar and Technical Description of the Plants Most Common to the Various Localities of the British Isles

This little work, the second edition of which is now entering on its career, was originally compiled for the use of some young friends of the author, and used by them in manuscript with sufficient success to induce its publication, in the hope that it might contribute to form other young botanists, and lay the foundation for much interesting amusement, arising from a pursuit so congenial to the young and active; and above all to those who delight in the examination of the works of nature: a study to which we are urged not only by our own feeling of its propriety, as showing a due reve rence for the gifts of God, but to which we are incited by many of the first writers of ancient and modern times.
