Synopsis
Excerpt from Flowers From Foreign Lands
In laying before the public the pages contained in this volume, it was designed to present a work on exotic flowers, corresponding with the "Favourite Field Flowers," in which the writer endeavoured to describe the native beauties of our island, an endeavour in which he was ably, assisted by the skill of Mr. Andrews in portraying and colouring the specimens selected.
Numerous valuable publications have, from time to time, given illustrations of imported flowers, but they have been generally so costly as to limit their distribution exclusively to the wealthier classes; and thus it has followed, that some who could not afford to buy such works, and others who did not feel justified in devoting to intellectual pleasure and improvement so large a sum as their purchase requires, have been debarred not only from much desirable gratification, but from the acquisition of some knowledge of the fairest vegetable productions of Foreign Lands.
