Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Asphodels and Pansies
Before closing this preface, it will not be amiss, per haps, to give the origin of the title and sub-titles of the book.
Out of my tender love for the ?owers was born the title of my book, - the Asphodels and Pansies standing sponsors, and bestowing their joint names upon it. But it was with no thought of the sentiments accorded to these, in the Language of Flowers, that led me to call it this.
