Abstract
THE manuscript of this "Flora,"we are told, was completed a quarter of a century ago. Those who knew the sensitive, retiring disposition of the late Lord de Tabley will not be surprised that he laid it aside as not ready for press; nor will they be surprised at the excellence of what was done. There is little beyond an enumeration of the plants of the county, but made with extreme care and with conscientious acknowledgment of doubts and difficulties in dealing with critical plants.
The Flora of Cheshire.
Lord de Tabley (Hon. J. Byrne Leicester Warren), edited by Spencer Moore; with a Biographical Notice of the Author by Sir Mountstuart Grant Duff. Pp. cxiv + 399, with a portrait of the author and a map of the county. (London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1899.)
