Excerpt from An Analysis of the British Ferns and Their Allies: With Copper-Plate Engravings of Every Species and VarietyIn the part of the work which treats of the Genera, the reader will find, first, the derivation of the Genus, and a concise account of its general characteristics, and under it the arrangement of the species, according to their obvious distinctions.In the Essential Characters of the different species, as few words as possible have been used, and those few pure and scientific. In The Synonymes, which go back to the time of Linnaeus (or in some few instances a little before), the names of authors only are given, unless they have called a plant by different names in different of their works, when the works themselves are also specified. In the descriptive part, and discriminating remarks which follow it, pure scientific detail has not been so much aimed at as obvious differences and popular observations. The habitats have been col lected from every authentic source which was attainable by me, a vast number will be found which have not been recorded before, and those few which are contained in previous publications, have most of them been lately authenticated.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
