Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flora's Dictionary There are few little presents more pleasing to a Lady, than a bouquet of owers and, if the donor be disposed to give them greater significance, it will be easy, with this manual before him, to make his selection in such a way as to stamp intelligence and expression on a simple posy. This mode of communication may be carried even beyond the proper season of owers, by the aid of an herba riam, in which owers are preserved by simple pressure between the leaves of an album. Such an herbarium would be an ornament to a parlour table, and would, moreover, encourage and facilitate the study of botany in promotion of which latter object, a botanical glossary has been added to the work.
