Description:Excerpt from American Weeds and Useful Plants: Being a Second And; Illustrated Edition of Agricultural BotanyAgriculture, in a broad and legitimate sense, being a comprehensive system Of Natural Science - involving more especially a practical acquaintance with the useful portion Of the Vegetable Creation, I have long thought it due to the Profession, and desirable in every point Of view, that the young Farmers of the United States should acquire an exact knowledge Of the Plants which it immediately concerns them to know and that they should be enabled to designate, and treat Of them, with the precision and methodical perspicuity which belong to scientific language and arrangement. Under this impression, and in the hope Of promoting an Object deemed so important, the present work has been compiled. In submitting it to those for whom it is more particularly intended, I am not unaware that its technical features are ill-suited to the notions Of many plodding disciples Of the Old school of Agriculture, who despise every form of knowledge derivable from Books, - and whose ideas never stray beyond the manual Operations Of the field and the barn yard. It is scarcely probable, indeed, that any written treatise-though couched in the most familiar dialect - would obviate the Objections, or conciliate the prejudices of such antiquated tillers of the soil. My views, therefore, have not been directed to that unpromising quarter. I address myself to the youthful and aspiring Agriculturists of our country, who seek to elevate their noble Profession to its just rank among human pursuits, - and who feel that the exercise of intellect, as well as Of muscle, 18 indispensable to the accomplishment of their purpose.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
