Sinopsis

Excerpt from Botanical Rambles

What though I trace each herb and flower That sips the morning dew; Did I not own Jehovah's power, How vain were all I knew!

You asked me a few days ago, of what use were all the dried plants which I was so care fully fastening to paper; and you will recollect, perhaps, that I then evaded the question, suffer ing you for the time to think that I was commit ting great waste in spoiling so much good paper. When I told you, on another occasion, that, amongst my numerous collection of stones, stained with spots of yellow, and grey, and black, there were none which contained any useful mineral, you seemed yet more surprised. Had they been specimens of ore, you said, you could conceive it possible that they might be worth.

Excerpt from Botanical Rambles

Poppies, there is nothing to be seen but grass. By the term grass, farmers mean all plants which serve as pasture to cattle, or may be converted into hay, or, more accurately, all plants with comparatively small leaves gron in pasture land. Botanists, however, comprehend under the term those plants only which bear long and narrow leaves, jointed stems, and seeds more or less resembling grains of barley or wheat.
