 known ; yet proving more conclusively than 

 were otherwise possible in the same space, what 

 a varied and abundant source of instructive 

 pleasure is afforded all about for those who will 

 accept Nature's constant but unobtrusive invi- 

 tations. With about half a dozen exceptions 

 they were all found in the Ramble.
