SECOND EDITION, ENLARGED AND RE- ARRANGED. 



" The present treatise is the simplest that has yet been published 

 on the subject of British Ferns. It is a successful attempt to give, 

 in a popular form, an easy and satisfactory outline of this branch of 

 Botany. It carefully avoids all technical language, and in words of 

 common use describes each Species under its respective Genus, and 

 the Characteristics of those Genera. It will also serve as a useful key 

 to larger and more learned treatises, and it contains at the end a 

 copious and correct Glossary of Technical Terms in Botany. It is 

 elegantly got up, and may be strongly recommended as a careful 

 compilation from larger and more ambitious works of the same class." 

 Weekly Times. 



" A useful little book for those who wish to begin the study of 

 cultivation of British Ferns." Spectator.
