Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original.

Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers.

Download or read book The British Flora Medica Or History of the Medicinal Plants of Great Britain Classic Reprint written by Benjamin Herbert Barton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Flora Medica, or History of the Medicinal Plants of Great Britain The immediate design of this work is, to furnish an accurate description of all the medicinal plants indigenous to Britain, which appear entitled to that character, from the estimation in which they were held by the greatest and most skilful of the old physicians. That they were generally correct in their judgement is apparent from the fact, that several of the plants which they recommended have been allowed to sink in oblivion, and after many years' neglect, have again been successfully used by modern practitioners. This is well exemplified in the history of Foxglove, the more prominent effects of which were fully understood in the sixteenth century it was admitted into the London Pharmacopoeia in 1725, discarded in 1746, and has lately been restored with more than its pristine honours. How many more blest secrets of the earth remain yet to be discovered, it is impossible to predict; but if these pages should succeed in calling attention to one such plant, the labours of the Authors will be abundantly recompensed.

Twofold nature lstly, to provide the young Student with a description of our native plants, arranged according to the simplest method; and 2dly, to afiord to the more experienced Botanist, a manual, that should be useful in the field as well as in the closet. In regard to the first object, the experience of nearly an hundred years has proved to every unprejudiced mind, that no system has appeared which can be compared to that of the immortal Swede for the faciliq with which it enables any one, hitherto unprac tised in Botany, to arrive at a knowledge of the Genus and Species of a plant. - The Linnaean Method is, therefore, here still, though not exclusively, adopted.
