GRANDEUR. 



Beech Tree. — Fagus. 

 '' And the beech 



Of oily nuts prohfic." 



This noble tree vies even with the oak in 

 stateUness and grandeur ; whilst its silvery 

 bark and glossy foliage renders it one of the 

 greatest ornaments to the forest. 



The true grandeur of men consists in the 

 greatness of their minds, and the nobleness of 

 their actions.
