Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1811 edition. Excerpt: ... concealed within the honey-cup; they have one pointal, and a globular berry for a seed-vessel, which contains two round seeds: the species called Butcher's Broom bears its flowers on the upper surface of the leaves, which are like those of the Myrtle, except being stiff and prickly at the points; the blossoms are of a yellowish green, and the berries red. I become every day more impatient for your return, as the time appointed for it approaches. Mrs. Snelgrove intends that we shall apply very closely in the winter to drawing, that we may be qualified to delineate the botanical specimens" we shall collect the following summer, that, by combining two branches of our education, we may improve in both at the same time. Adieu FELICIA. LETTER XXVII. Seas Constance, Shrubbery, September 10. With the design of rendering our task more easy, you may recollect that I told you in a former letter, that the plants which formed the twenty-third class in the system of Linnaeus, are now more frequently arranged, by modern botanists, amongst the other classes, according to their general distinctions; therefore I shall proceed to the last class, Cryptogamia, which I have already told you includes those vegetables which are of the lowest kinds, whose parts of fructification have hitherto escaped the most attentive researches of learned botanists; therefore, Mrs. Snelgrove has recommended only a very few of the most obvious to my notice, which, she says, may serve to give us general ideas of the rest. The parts of fructification in the Ferns are sometimes produced in spikes, but in general they are found upon the backs of the leaves, and, when magnified, appear to consist of a scale proceeding from the leaf, with an opening on one side; some little globules...

Coming from a prosperous London Quaker family, the author Priscilla Wakefield (1751-1832) wrote educational books for children, including an introduction to botany (also reissued in this series), and this 1798 work for adults, a fascinating piece of social and feminist history. Wakefield argues for better education for women, and suggests ways for those without the support of a husband or family to earn a living. Her ideas are not radical: she divides women into four social classes, with recommendations on appropriate work for each, and she believes that marriage rather than independence is the best outcome for any woman. Her concern for social norms is illustrated by her belief that field labour and any manufacturing job 'where both sexes are promiscuously assembled' are detrimental to female virtue. There are, however, many occupations which do not destroy 'the peculiar characteristic of their sex', or exceed 'the most exact limits of modesty and decorum'.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
