Excerpt from The Vegetable World

There is no study which has been clothed with so much fictitious tediousness, and none which has been so much neglected, as that of Botany, or an inquiry into the Vegetable World. This has not only been tho case with children and youth, but those of more advanced years have neglected to take an interest in one of the most fruitful and grateful sources of instruction, - a source which is filled with so much wonder, and so productive of conviction of the benevolence of our Creator.
