Book synopsis

Excerpt from A Dictionary: Of Popular Names of the Plants Which Furnish the Natural and Acquired Wants of Man, in All Matter of Domestic and General Economy He early entertained the idea of writing a work to be entitled Economic omol Commercial Botany; with that view he commenced taking notes of all matters relating to the products and uses of plants; and his health having improved, he made frequent visits to the library of the British Museum, which enabled him greatly to increase the number of his notes. At the time of his death in 1865 his arranged notes occupied thirty octavo volumes, besides manuscripts prepared for the press.
