Agnes Arber's Herbals, first published in 1912, stands as the major survey of the period 1470-1670 when botany was evolving into a scientific discipline separate from herbalism, a development reflected in contemporary herbals. This present volume retains her text unaltered and includes two of her later writings in herbals, a biographical introduction, and an extended bibliography.
