Excerpt from Pomarium Britannicum: An Historical and Botanical Account of Fruits Known in Great Britain
To the first historical account of fruits, which has been attempted in the English language, it may be expected that a Preface should be given. The Author would rather that his should be considered an apology for having undertaken so arduous a task, at a time when his utmost exertions were, from necessity, directed towards other objects. He is now induced to offer it to the world, not relying on his own ability so much as on the indulgence of the Public, to a work that has been finished under the most distressing family affliction.
It will be observed, that the work has been compiled more for general readers than for botanists or practical gardeners.
