The Illustrated Handbook of the British Plants (Classic Reprint)
Author: Alexander Irvine
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780266899228
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 878
Book Description
Excerpt from The Illustrated Handbook of the British Plants The use of the terms Arctic, Boreal, Germanic, Atlantic types, &c., was declined as inexpedient, and as more likely to puzzle and perplex the junior student than to enlighten him. This work is not meant to embrace the objects for which the Cybele was composed. It is an introduction to the knowledge of British plants, not the history of their immigration, colonization, and subsequent naturalization and complete establishment in this island. But another important con sideration remains to be urged in justification of the procedure adopted; and this should be duly weighed by all who voluntarily undertake the office of public teachers, whether from the press or platform, viz., that it is not prudent to originate more questions than they can satisfactorily answer. It is a truism that questions are more easily asked than answered and as the proverb teaches us, that a fool may ask a question which seven wise men cannot answer, it was judged desirable, in an elementary work, to avoid all such terms as might induce doubts or questionings in the minds of the readers. Moreover, a natural historian has to deal with things, and not opinions. The Author professes to state facts, and he has not yet attained to a complete conviction that the classification of the British, or of any species, into natives, denizens, or colonists, naturalized and semi-naturalized, is a fact, or is in all cases founded on facts; and therefore he leaves this matter to be settled, or modified, or adjusted by those learned authorities who have made these branches of the science their particular or special study.
