Excerpt from A Systematic Arrangement of British Plants Although the compiler cannot boast of so critical a knowledge of Botany as of some other departments of Natural History, he is yet sufficiently aware of the difficulties which the student of that science has to encounter, and has been deeply im pressed with the importance of precise characters and pure language in every science. It is therefore confidently hoped that the work will prove useful; and should the author have contributed in any considerable degree to facilitate the progress of beginners in the delightful study of Botany, he will be grateful to Him who has permitted such a use of the faculties bestowed upon him. It were alike unnecessary and useless to say any thing here in recommendation of the science of plants - unnecessary, because its fascinations have been extensively felt - and useless, because they who may peruse this werk, if they do not love Nature for her own sake, will hardly be persuaded to love her for any thing that another might say in her praise.
