Transcriber's note:
In general every effort has been made to replicate the original text
as faithfully as possible, including possible instances of no longer
standard spelling and punctuation, and variable spelling (notably,
Shakspeare/Shakespeare). Variations in hyphenation and compound words
have been preserved.
The following changes were made to correct apparently typographical
errors:
p. x "Mowing--Brds--The Swallow" Brds changed to Birds
p. 50 "There is another Lancahire" Lancahire changed to Lancashire
p. 66 "bed of Clematis Jackmanni" Jackmanni changed to Jackmanii
p. 92 "epithet of _filamentosa_."" quotation mark removed
p. 96 "can undertand how appropriate" undertand changed to understand
