Abstract
THE subject of herbals has always attracted students of botanical history. The beauty of their figures, the quaintness of their language, their appearance as the herald of the scientific development of botany, their appeal to the folklorist and designer, have all combined to create a demand for these books. Dealers have not been backward in reflecting the extent of this demand in the prices they have put upon them.
