Excerpt from The Little English Flora, or a Botanical and Popular Account of All Our Common Field Flowers The very favorable reception which my "Analysis of the British Ferns" has received from the Public, induces me to offer the present little introductory Work to their notice: believing that such a one has been long wanted, and now that the study of Botany has become so fashionable, one which is imperatively called for. My object is, first, to invite the young to the examination of the "Flowers of the Field, " by pointing out the beauties they are likely every where to meet with, that thus an additional charm may be added to their rambles over the meads and commons. Secondly, to induce a love for the science itself, by showing that it is easy of acquirement, and that it yields instruction and delight, not merely in our after progress, but even from our first commencement of its study. I write also for the use of Invalids, who requiring a sufficient inducement too often neglect to take that exercise which would invigorate their health, both of mind and body. And for Parents, Instructors, and others, who without having time or inclination for deep and long-continued study yet desire to know somewhat of our Native Plants.
