" I have often been astonished at onr indifference respecting the applause of those who 

 have introduced useful plants into their country^ the fruits of which are to this day so 

 delightful. The names of these public benefactors are chiefly unknown, whilst their benefits 

 pass from generation to generation : whereas, those of the destroyers of the human race are 

 handed down to us in every page, as if we took more account of our enemies than our 

 friends."
