Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ferns of the English Lake Country: With a List of Varieties For the general scientific part of this book I am indebted to the Editor of Nature-printed Ferns - Mr. Thomas Moore - whose various works upon British Ferns have exhausted nearly all that can be said upon the subject. On this ground my book could hardly be more than a mere abridgement and paraphrase of his writing. For new and original matter I have to thank Mr. F. Clowes, of Windermere, who very kindly furnished me with the lists of local varieties, at the same time according me so much help and supervision as may, I trust, be sufficient guarantee for correctness. My obligations ought also to be expressed to Mr. Barnes and other collectors, from whom, through Mr. Clowes, I obtained information for these lists. The General Description and the Chapter on Meanings of Names and Terms have been added not only to give a more universal interest to the book, but as almost necessary for the collector or student, since nearly all the genera of British Ferns (sixteen out of nineteen) are found in the Lake Country.
