Excerpt from Botany of the Bermudas
A continual and increasing demand from tourists, especially ladies, who are generally most enthusiastic on Botanical research when visiting this island, has induced the publishers to place this handbook prepared by a well known Botanist, on the market. Apart from a small Botany written by the author and a small pamphlet years ago, written by Mr. Readc, (both now out of print) there is no work on the subject available; apart from Verrills* Bermuda, an expensive volume, and out of the reach of a student's purse. Our object in placing this Botany before the public, is that a Botanist, or a would-be Botanist, may have a reliable handbook. The Mss. has been submitted to more than one expert, who pronounced it as perfectly reliable, and all thoroughly recommend it, so long as the price should place it within everybodys reach.
