Book Description
Excerpt from A Dictionary of English Plant-Names Science cannot, at present, afford to throw hard words at pro vincialisms. Too often, in her nomenclature, has she failed to interpret Nature; too often given us only the skeleton leaf instead of the flower. A long list of provincialisms might be given, where by a word a whole train of associations is aroused, and the close relationship of all things shown Many of our most expressive terms are fast dying out, as schools are built, and schoolmasters increase, so will the old words perish in the struggle with the new. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
