Excerpt from The Ferns of the English Lake Country: With a List of Varieties
Ferns, 1862, has, I believe, been engraved only once before now.
So much of Preface seemed right to explain the nature of the work and to render fitting acknowledgements and thanks. I have only farther to say that I shall be obliged to any one who will favour me by either pointing out possible errors or giving me information as to new varieties or habitats. And I ought to add that Fern-collectors may obtain good specimens.
