HISTORY OF BRITISH FERNS. 
9. The British Ferns, popularly described. By G. W. 
Johnson. 1857. 16mo, pp. 284 ; woodcuts.—Another 
compilation, affecting to be “ as free as possible from 
the jargon of botanical language/" 
The most important enumerations of the British Ferns 
elsewhere to be met with, are those in the “ British Flora"" 
of Sir W. J. Hooker and Dr. Walker Arnott, and in the 
“ Manual of British Botany"" of Mr. Babington. Ample 
descriptions, accompanied by the synonyms of the older 
writers, occur in Sir J. E. Smith"s “ English Flora.""
