The book addresses the antiquity of existing plant species and explores the connections between modern flora and their prehistoric ancestors, utilizing geological evidence to illustrate these relationships. It aims to engage readers already interested in botany and to encourage further study of the history of plants. The opening of the book sets the stage for an exploration of plant longevity and the ancient lineage of various species. A.C. Seward begins by reflecting on the lifespan of trees and contrasting it with human history, establishing a theme of continuity between the past and present within the plant kingdom. He illustrates the deep connections between modern trees and their historical counterparts, discussing specific examples of notable ancient trees and their longevity, while emphasizing the remarkable capacity of certain plants to endure through geological timeframes. Overall, the beginning invites readers to contemplate the intricate links between living plants and their deep-rooted histories, foreshadowing a detailed examination of plant evolution throughout the work.
