Esq. Of the Glasneven Botanical Garden at Dublin, he is under very great obligation for their kindness in supplying him with complete Catalogues of the Floras of Scotland and Ireland respectively; and to them, to W. Borrer, Esq E. Forster, Esq., Prof. Henslow, the Rev. W. A. Leighton, and his other botanical friends and correspondents too numerous to record here, he takes this opportunity of re turning most sincere thanks for the great assistance that they have rendered to him by the communication of valu able suggestions, observations, and specimens. It is hoped that those who use this book will favour the author with information of any (even the slightest) add1 tion, correction or alteration that may appear to be neces sary, in order that it may be employed in the preparation of a future edition, as it is only through such assistance that the Flora of an extensive country can attain to even a moderate degree of perfection.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a remarkably extensive guide to the flora of Britain and Ireland, with illustrations of numerous species of British plants, both common and rare, that are not featured in other similar works. Originally founded on the author's own extensive botanical journeys across the country, the work includes numerous additional species contributed by other skilled botanists, with notations to indicate which are British natives and which are not. The information in the book was considered quite groundbreaking when first published, as it provided new insights into the distribution and characteristics of British plant life, and it has since become a key reference for those interested in the study of botany.
