Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from A Dictionary of English Plant-Names Science cannot, at present, afford to throw hard words at pro vincialisms. Too often, in her nomenclature, has she failed to interpret Nature; too often given us only the skeleton leaf instead of the flower. A long list of provincialisms might be given, where by a word a whole train of associations is aroused, and the close relationship of all things shown Many of our most expressive terms are fast dying out, as schools are built, and schoolmasters increase, so will the old words perish in the struggle with the new.

Excerpt from English Plant Names: From the Tenth to the Fifteenth Century Of the manifold attractions in the Saxon Vocabularies, nothing has charmed me more than the native Plant-names, which have there been preserved in the most primitive form extant. For many winters these lists were to me as a kind of winter-garden, wherein I could botanize at the fireside and look at familiar plants through the eyes of remote ancestors. Wishing to impart this pure and exquisite pleasure to some friends of mine and friends of Saxon studies, I printed the following lists from the editions in the readiest manner without any idea of making a book. I made no revision of the texts, excepting a manuscript in the library of St. John's College, Oxford, which, through the kindness of the President, I collated with No. V. After the lists were thus hastily printed, I was encouraged to add indices and an introduction. The indices will facilitate such a comparison of the lists as will often enable readers to correct scribal errors for themselves.

Excerpt from Plant Names IT is very unlikely that all the derivations given in this book are correct, and learned readers must form their own judgment in each case. For even the soundest etymologists resort to conjecture sometimes, and there is no branch of learning in which it is more useful. I can only say that I consulted the best authorities, and that when a derivation seemed doubtful I said so. But a critic will find plenty of marks at which to have a shot, and when the attempt has been made to explain over a thousand names there is sure to be difference of Opinion about some, probably many, of them.

Excerpt from A Dictionary of English Names of Plants Applied in England and Among English-Speaking People to Cultivated and Wild Plants, Trees and Shrubs It is an undeniable fact that the vast majority of people of all classes who take an interest in horticultural pursuits consists of those who, jnever having received any classical or botanical training, find it difficult to learn and remember, and impossible to understand, the Latin or scientific names by which plants are spoken of and described by botanists. These names, however useful and even necessary they may be as technical terms to the systematic botanist, become a senseless jargon in the vain attempt to fix them amongst our household words, and most of us are keenly alive to the inconsistency of employing words from a foreign and even dead language to name such familiar everyday objects as the flowers and shrubs which are grown in our gardens and woods.
