On concluding the First Volume of the Illustrations of Useful Plants, 
the Author cannot refrain from offering her sincere thanks for the eminent and 
extensive patronage with which her Work has been honoured ; encouraged 
by her success, she hopes to make the following Volumes more worthy of 
public approbation. The greatest care will be taken to select Plants which 
are interesting for their historic and poetical associations, as well as those 
which are remarkable for their beauty or utility. 
The Oak, the material of Britain’s Navy, and the symbol of Britain’s 
strength, — the Ash, the most elegant denizen of our woods, — and the Elm, 
Milton’s favourite tree, will be figured, if possible, within the next ten or 
twelve numbers. 
It will be the Author’s endeavour, in selecting the extracts by which 
the Plates are accompanied to combine amusement with instruction, and thus 
make her Work an agreeable companion in the study, as well as a fit orna- 
ment for the drawing-room table.
