An eminent botanist and natural historian, George Simonds Boulger
(1853 1922) wrote a number of books on plant life in the British
Isles. He published this concise work in 1889. It opens with a
brief survey of the progress made in economic botany over the
years, particularly in the period 1837 87. Boulger then notes the
commercial application of plants across many fields, notably food
production, medicine, and the building trade. Common and botanical
names are given, followed by succinct descriptions of each plant.
Including both a general and synoptical index, this accessible
resource can be read with profit alongside John Jackson's
Commercial Botany of the Nineteenth Century (1890) and Boulger's
Wood: A Manual of the Natural History and Industrial Applications
of the Timbers of Commerce (1902), both of which are reissued in
this series."
