PREFACE. Vii 
and within the reach of every admirer of 
Flora (and who is not so?), is given an 
account of nearly three hundred different 
flowers with their powers in language, 
and in most cases the reason for their being 
so appropriated is stated. To acquire a 
knowledge of the principles on which the 
floral language is conducted, it is recom- 
mended that the Introduction be first care- 
fully perused, and the ingenious will then 
be enabled to 
Gather a wreath from their garden bowers, 
And tell the wish of their heart in flowers.
