Excerpt from A Compendium of the Cybele Britannica, or British Plants in Their Geographical Relations This present volume may be taken as a condensed summary from thousands upon thousands of individual facts, real or alleged, actually ascertained or accepted on faith. It is not to be expected that such a sum mary has been made without errors and oversights on the part of the Author himself, besides those which may have been taken on trust from other writers or communicators. The attempted elimination of old errors, over and over again repeated in books, and of the many others of more recent date continually in creasing their numbers, has been found one of the most unsatisfactory among the emendatory tasks under taken.
