Excerpt from A Collection of Wild Flowers Chool life is over with its hopes and fears, Books laid aside with perhaps a few tears; Gone gone forever are those bright, happy hours, Laid in Memory's Casket, with a halo of flowers.

Excerpt from A Bunch of Wild Flowers So I've gathered this bunch of wildflowers that grew in the shine and shade, And out of the modest blossoms have a little garland made.

Excerpt from Wild Flowers Lo! The herds have abandoned their flocks beloved, The wise'men have journeyed from'distant parts, TO proffer their incense, gold, and myrrh, Whilst we have naught but our sin-stained hearts. Oh, these sin-stained hearts! We pause in distress; Our hope'and joy for a while are chilled'; But anon we picture the Babe's sweet eyes Our courage revives, our fears are stilled. For the heart that is sad with remembered sin, The heart that is weary and sore oppressed, Or the poor heart crushed with some untold pain, May be just the heart that the Child loves best. Anon we will pass through the cold, drear night TO the stable blest, our homage to pay, And there will we kneel at the manger's side, In a thrill of delight, till the dawn Of day.

Excerpt from Wild Flowers of Deseret: A Collection of Efforts in Verse The idea of publishing in book form had been a thought of the far future; but, upon the advice, and with the kind encouragement of generous friends, this end has been sooner accomplished; and I would here thank those who have so kindly assisted me in its publication. This volume is presented not so much for its literary excellence; as a memento to those friends who will value the book for the sake of the author.

Excerpt from The Wild Flower Book: For Young People The little girl who tells this story goes from the city to live in the country with her grandmother. There, through the spring, summer, and the cool, crisp autumn, she roams through woods, meadows and swamps, and sees many things that pique her curiosity. Most often it is the wild flowers she wishes to know about; although she notices the birds, the trees, and even a bullfrog. She sees that the sky changes, and wonders why the dewdrops cling so long to blades of grass. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Wild Flowers of Poesy: Being a Collection of Poems It is not surprising that under such circumstances his f eelmgs should sometimes seek vent in the language of poetry. H1s first efforts were, of course, crude. But they gave him pleasure. They favored habits of reading and reflection. When, ten years since, he left his own coun try and embarked for the new world, the pain of separation was sooth ed and the tedium of along and gloomy voyage rekeyed, by the use of hispen. Since he reached the United States, he has resided in Troy, (n. And most of the pieces in this volume have been written with in that time, and have appeared in the papers of that city or vicinity. Being the occasional effusions of a working-man's leisure - of one, too, who has cultivated his powers under the greatest embarrassments - it will surprise no one that they are marred by serious mperfections. That he has been able to produce nothing better he regrets; that he has been permitted to produce any thing, and thus in these excursions of his fancy lose the sense of sickness and sorrow, whlle he has given utterance to his gratitude to the Source of all Good, and has cherished his love of nature, and his sympathy with all human kind, this may well be the subject of thankfulness to him, as it W111 be of pleasing contemplation to every right-mindedreader.

Excerpt from Field Book of Western Wild Flowers In this little book a very large number of the commoner wild flowers growing in the United States, west of the Rocky Mountains, are pictured and described. It is the first attempt to supply a popular field book for the whole West. The field is vast, including within its limits all sorts of climate and soil, producing thousands of flowers, infinite in variety and wonderful in beauty, their environment often as different as that of Heine's Pine and Palm. In such strange homes as the Grand Canyon and the Petrified Forest of Arizona, or the deserts of Utah and southern California, we find the oddest desert plants, forced to curious expedients in order to sustain life amidst almost perpetual heat and drought, but often displaying blossoms of such brilliance and delicacy that they might well be envied by their more fortunate sisters, flourishing beside shady waterfalls, in a "happy valley" like Yosemite, or a splendid mountain garden, such as spreads in many-colored parterres of bloom around the feet of Mt. Rainier. On the wind-swept plains hundreds of flowers are to be found; many kinds of hardy plants brighten the salty margins of the sea cliffs, or bloom, at the edge of the snow on rocky mountain peaks, while;quantities of humble, everyday flowers border our country roadsides or tint the hills and meadows with lavish color. The field includes the States of Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Arizona and to designate this whole field the term West is used in this book. The term Northwest designates Washington, Oregon, northern Idaho, and northern California, and the term Southwest covers southern California and Arizona. The flowers found only in the Rocky Mountains are not included, and it may be noted here that exceedingly few of the western flowers cross the Rockies and are found in the East.

Excerpt from New England Wild Flowers and Their Seasons The kindly reception given my Among Rhode Island Wild Flowers has led me, perhaps too rashly, to venture once more afield. In enlarging the scope of the work to include New England, my purpose has never been to mention all, or even a large part, of the flowers of this region. I have collected, rather the notes of many wander ings by hill and dale, on the sea-shore, or on the mountains, and these stand very much as originally written. It is hoped that they will thus seem fresher and more life-like than if worked up anew. I have, all things considered, deemed it wise to retain the nomenclature of the last edition of Gray's Manual of the Northern States. All scientific names are relegated to the Index.
