Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Plant Names: From the Tenth to the Fifteenth Century The fascination of Plant-names has its foun dation in two instincts, love of Nature and curiosity about Language. Plant-names are often of the highest antiquity, and more or less common to the whole stream of related nations. Could we penetrate to the original suggestive idea that called forth the name, it would bring valuable information about the first openings of the human mind towards Nature; and the merest dream of such a discovery invests with a strange charm the words that could tell, if we could understand, so much of the forgotten infancy of the human.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Names of Herbes It is unnecessary to enter into any account of the life and works of William Turner, as a full account of both will be found. In Mr. B. D. Jackson's preface to his reprint (issued in 1877) of the Libellus - Turner's first work - as well as in Trimen and Dyer's Flora of Middlesex (published in pp. 364 - 369. He was born at Morpeth in Northumberland between 1510 and 1515, went to Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, and became Fellow of that College in 1531. He afterwards took up the religious views which were then becoming prominent, and went through a series of vicissitudes which are duly chronicled by Mr. Jackson. He was a prolific writer, many of his works being directed against the Catholic Church, and ex hibiting the heated controversial tone characteristic of the period in which he lived. Like many other controversialists, he was not always very particular as to the acorn-soy of his accusations - an example of this will be found in the note upon Palm in the Dictionary of English plant-james. He died in 1568. I may perhaps be allowed to draw attention to the fact that the house of Syon, where the Names of Herbes was prepared, is within a mile of the place where this Preface is written; and that the Protestant author of 1548 is introduced to the reading public by a Catholic editor in 1882. Thus the whirligig of Time brings in his revenges. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of English Names of Plants Applied in England and Among English-Speaking People to Cultivated and Wild Plants, Trees and Shrubs It is an undeniable fact that the vast majority of people of all classes who take an interest in horticultural pursuits consists of those who, jnever having received any classical or botanical training, find it difficult to learn and remember, and impossible to understand, the Latin or scientific names by which plants are spoken of and described by botanists. These names, however useful and even necessary they may be as technical terms to the systematic botanist, become a senseless jargon in the vain attempt to fix them amongst our household words, and most of us are keenly alive to the inconsistency of employing words from a foreign and even dead language to name such familiar everyday objects as the flowers and shrubs which are grown in our gardens and woods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant Names IT is very unlikely that all the derivations given in this book are correct, and learned readers must form their own judgment in each case. For even the soundest etymologists resort to conjecture sometimes, and there is no branch of learning in which it is more useful. I can only say that I consulted the best authorities, and that when a derivation seemed doubtful I said so. But a critic will find plenty of marks at which to have a shot, and when the attempt has been made to explain over a thousand names there is sure to be difference of Opinion about some, probably many, of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Botanical Equivalents: French-English, German-English French and German terms of Latin or Greek origin have been omitted whenever the English equivalent would practically have been only a repetition. For such terms as are included in this dictionary the exact English equivalents have been sought. In numerous instances, however, the lack of such has made it necessary to furnish an explanation of the foreign term rather than a translation. The list of plant names includes important economic plants, farm weeds, and the Latin equivalents for the larger plant groups. The editors, so far from attempting a complete compilation of French and German botanical terms, have aimed only at the production of a practical handbook, accurate within the limits set for it. To make it possible for owners of the volume to amplify the list of terms and names given, the publishers have inter leaved blank pages, and it is hoped that this will prove valuable for those who use the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Popular Names of British Plants: Being an Explanation of the Origin and Meaning of the Names of Our Indigenous and Most Commonly Cultivated Species The authors of our several Floras, and other systematic writers, have been careful to translate the Greek and Latin names of our plants, and, as far as it is known, to explain their meaning, but have passed over the popular ones, as though the derivation of these were too obvious to require any notice. This is far indeed from being the case. Our excellent lexicons and Latin dictionaries enable us in most cases to understand the former With comparative facility, but in the very backward state of English etymology, as exhibited in books of reference, it is impossible, Without a great waste of time and trouble, to discover the real meaning of the latter; of those more particularly Which date from an early period. It is the object of the follow ing Vocabulary to supply the defect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
