The Romantic and Historic Background of Agriculture and Plant Study (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Romantic and Historic Background of Agriculture and Plant Study

This bibliography, which is made up exclusively of material to be found among the rare works on agricultural and botanical subjects in the collection of the Riverside Public Library, makes no claim to complete ness. On the other hand, a few modern works, which seemed of particular interest or not likely to be found on the shelves of the general library, have been included. A delightful precedent for any lack of system. Or excessive enthusiasm over certain details on the part of the compiler, may be found in the pages of almost any one of the seventeenth century authors noted.

The helpful interest of Mr. Joseph F. Daniels, under whose librarian ship the collection has been made, and an increasingly intimate acquaint ance with the charming old-time volumes of which it is composed, have rendered the compilation a pleasure rather than an inescapable task.
