Proserpina, Volume 1

The book is the Proserpina, Volume 1 Studies of Wayside Flowers. It had written about variety of a favourite flower botanical garden and plant. Which said book was therefore undertaken, to put, if it might be, some elements of the science of botany into a form more tenable by ordinary human and childish faculties; or for I can scarcely say I have yet any tenure of it myself to make the paths of approach to it more pleasant. In fact, I only know, of it, the pleasant distant effects which it bears to simple eyes; and some pretty mists and mysteries.
