532 CONCLUDING REMARKS. 



public some of the amenities of science, as well as those 

 results of graver studies, which can necessarily be appre- 

 ciated by but few. What a pleasant halo, for example, 

 has Darwin thrown around the Linnsean system of Botan- 

 ical arrangement, by bestowing on us his " Botanic 

 Garden!" White of Selbourne, Waterton, and Mudie 

 have bestowed the same bright charm on Ornithology, 

 Johnson on Zoophytes, and Mantell on Geology. It 

 savours of melancholy to admire beauty only in termino- 

 logies, and, as Alfred Tennyson observes, 



" See no divinity in grass, 

 Life in dead stones, or spirit in air."
