THE
FOLK-LORE
OF
PLANTS
BY
T.F.
THISELTON-DYER
1889
PREFACE.
Apart
from
botanical
science,
there
is
perhaps
no
subject
of
inquiry
connected
with
plants
of
wider
interest
than
that
suggested
by
the
study
of
folk-lore.
This
field
of
research
has
been
largely
worked
of
late
years,
and
has
obtained
considerable
popularity
in
this
country,
and
on
the
Continent.
Much
has
already
been
written
on
the
folk-lore
of
plants,
a
fact
which
has
induced
me
to
give,
in
the
present
volume,
a
brief
systematic
summary--with
a
few
illustrations
in
each
case--of
the
many
branches
into
which
the
subject
naturally
subdivides
itself.
It
is
hoped,
therefore,
that
this
little
work
will
serve
as
a
useful
handbook
for
those
desirous
of
gaining
some
information,
in
a
brief
concise
form,
of
the
folk-lore
which,
in
one
form
or
another,
has
clustered
round
the
vegetable
kingdom.
