FLORAL EMBLEMS. 163 



GRANDEUR. 



BEECH TREE. Fagus. 



" And the beech 



Of oily nuts prolific." 



This noble tree vies even with the oak in 

 stateliness 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.
