Book Description
Excerpt from The Clydesdale Flora: A Description of the Flowering Plants and Ferns of the Clyde District, Arranged According to the Natural Orders, With a Glossary of Terms and Diagrams This work was undertaken at the request of some Members of the Committee of the Popular Evening Classes, to supply a deficiency and obviate a source of regret which had long been felt, that no Field-Book existed giving descriptions of the Wild Flowers growing in the vicinity of Glasgow, which might be useful as a d104-Book, and at the same time so moderate in price as to meet the wants of all the Students who attend the Popular Botanical Classes in Anderson's University. The responsibility and risk of bringing out such a work seemed to forbid the attempt being made; but on this becoming known to Walter Crum, Esq., President of the Institution, he generously offered to aid in its publication; therefore, to this gentleman, and also to William Euing, James Young, R. S. Cunliffe, and Michael Connal, Esquires, for their personal sympathy and pecuniary assistance, the appearance of this work is due; and the Author tenders his sincere thanks to them, for himself, and also for the young men, Students in these Classes. It is hoped that this Flora will be the means of stimulating and diffusing a taste for the study of Botany amongst those young Naturalists who are devoting a portion of their leisure hours in making acquaintance with the pure and beautiful in Nature. In drawing up descriptions for a Flora such as the present, permanent characters are apt to be overlooked, and those taken which are trifling, or produced by merely local circumstances; to prevent this, it has been found necessary to compare the descriptions given in our best works with the plants themselves, and to choose and adopt the terms most suitable to the purpose, preferring where possible those most simple; but it is not to be considered that this work is put forward as original, - it is given only as a compilation.
