A keen collector and sketcher of plant specimens from an early age,
the author, educator and clergyman Charles Alexander Johns
(1811-74) gained recognition for his popular books on British
plants, trees, birds and countryside walks. Flowers of the Field
(1851), one of several works originally published by the Society
for Promoting Christian Knowledge, is also reissued in this series.
First published by the Society between 1847 and 1849, this
two-volume botanical guide for amateur enthusiasts focuses on the
trees found in British woodland. Johns describes each species,
noting also pests and diseases, uses for the wood, and associated
myths and legends. The work is noteworthy for its meticulous
engravings of leaves, seeds and blossom, and of the trees in
natural settings. Volume 2 (1849) covers such species as chestnut,
birch, elm, willow, ivy, yew and cedar. An index to the whole work
is also provided.
