" In conclusion, the Compiler can truly say, that he will consider himself fully 

 repaid for his trouble in compiling this little publication, should it have the effect 

 of adding a single individual to the students of Botany — a subject so admirably 

 fitted, by the beauty of the objects on which it treats, to lead the mind of the 

 observer 'through Nature up to Nature's God.'"
