Excerpt from The Music of Wild Flowers It has seemed good, in deference to the wishes of many friends, to gather together in book form a number of my botanical papers, contributed to various journals and magazines, which illustrate the interest and delight to be found in the pursuit of botany. Many of the articles in this collection appeared originally in the pages of The Outlook and of The Saturday Review, and my grateful thanks are offered to the editors for their kind permission to reproduce them. Similar acknowledgments are due to the editors of The Quarterly Review (in which the first article appeared, and which gives its title to the volume), to The Cornhill, The Spectator and The Treasury. I have ventured to include in this collection of botanical papers one on the death-place of Izaak Walton. It appeared in The Cornhill of last December, and aroused considerable interest. It will not, I hope, be thought inappropriate, when we call to mind the old fisherman's love of wild flowers.
