Book Description

Excerpt from American Wild Flowers in Their Native Haunts The botanical and local descriptions accompanying the plates, have been furnished by the artist, Mr. E. Whitefield. The verses, begin ning She sleeps. Inserted in Love beyond the Grave, were presented for publication by a friend. With these exceptions, the author is alone responsible for every thing in the volume which has not the name of its writer affixed. To the friends who have assisted her in this undertaking, she would fain offer her heart-warm thanks. Of the high value of their aid, every intelligent reader can judge, but of the spontaneous kind ness with which that aid was afforded, this is not the place to speak, since it would be invading the rights and encroaching upon the privi leges of that friendship which claims to belong to social, even more than to literary life. It is only necessary to add that every thing contained in the volume was written expressly for it, with the exception of a few short poems, selected from the author's early writings, which after appearing under other Signatures, are now for the first time claimed.
