Preface. quantity of starch. The self-heal, which is said to be a very excellent cure for quinsy and cuts, the thymeleaved veronica, and many others, now appear. The red and white campions send out a pleasant scent, and the foxglove, that has a pleasing record with boys, and countless others, bloom. The blue-bell of Scotland, as it is called, doubtless from the colour of the Stuarts ribbon, is often in such immense quantities that a considerable patch of ground is quite coloured by it. But a very few weeks will commence a liking for botany, and when a little knowledge is accumulated, it soon becomes permanent and increases. There are those who would feel more interest in insects and butterflies than plants, and for such the country round Rugby is a happy hunting-ground, and collections may be easily made. A microscope is a useful accompaniment, and shows us the wonders of these creatures. The eggs of butterflies are very singular; they differ as much, and even more than the creatures themselves, and that is saying a great deal. Then the stages of caterpillar, chrysalis, and imago are wonderful.
