A FLORA
OF
SHROPSHIRE,
By the Rev. W. A. LEIGHTON, B.A., F.B.S.E.
We cannot too strongly recommend it to the notice of our readers. For
though as a local Flora, it professes to treat only of the plants of a
single county, that county produces more than half the number of species
of flowering plants indigenous to the Kingdom. The descriptions are
unusually full and carefully drawn up. We have good ground for saying
that the Flora of Shropshire should be in the hands of every one who
feels interested in the botanical productions of the British
Isles.—_Phytologist_.
We look upon the appearance of this work as being a great step in advance
in the progress of British indigenous botany—for although it is
professedly confined to the description of the plants of a single county,
yet as clearly shewing the incorrectness of the idea “that a New Flora in
the true sense or the term has become impossible,”—it is indispensable to
every botanist who desires to obtain a thorough knowledge of our native
plants.—_Jardine’s Annals of Natural History_.
Highly interesting work. The “Index to the Localities,” where each plant
may be found in Shropshire, is very elaborate.—_Shrewsbury Chronicle_.
We were struck with the very correct manner in which he (Mr. Leighton)
has systematically arranged, the perspicuous accuracy with which he has
described, and the discriminating tact with which he has distinguished
all and every of our Salopian flowering herbs and trees; the whole
interspersed frequently with their medicinal and chemical powers, ancient
and modern customs, local anecdotes, scraps of poetry and fanciful
illustrations. Works of this kind, though learned, are too often dry and
monotonous; but as regards this, we may truly say to the
botanist—_indocti discant_, _et ament meminisse periti_; and we may
assure general readers of every description, particularly those of
Shropshire, that, though lacking nothing of learning or science, Mr.
Leighton has, with much taste and fancy, contrived to make his Flora “a
perpetual flow of nectar’d sweets, where no crude surfeit
reigns.”—_News_.
Carefully and critically executed.—_Athenæum_.
