Synopsis
Excerpt from With a Special Chapter on the Ferns Round London
But a feature of this little volume, which the Author believes is quite new to Fern literature, is the illustration of the chapter on Fern Habitats. That so especial a feature of where To find ferns will be widely appreciated by lovers of the beautiful plants which form its subject, the Author confidently believes.
It is unusual for the author of a book to say anything about its price; but in this instance the price of the volume has been a careful subject of study, with the object of widely increasing the love for a recreation whose pursuit must exercise a wholesome and healthy influence upon the public mind - an influence which, at once purifying and elevating, is calculated to raise the thoughts to better things, leading the mind from a contemplation of the beauty of Nature to the great Giver of all good things.
