Abstract
THE author of this book, who is well known as an enthusiast in the study and cultivation of British ferns, has succeeded in producing a work very useful to all fern-lovers. Hitherto it has been a matter of great difficulty for anyone to discover what name has been applied to a given form of any British fern, unless he has had access to some standard collection for comparison. This difficulty will now be greatly reduced by reference to the illustrations in this book, which consist of 40 coloured plates, 96 nature prints, and 319 others.
