INTRODUCTORY ADDRESS. XV. 



And when you have examined and studied bota- 

 nically, all the plants you are acquainted with ; 

 when you are thus far advanced, what pleasure you 

 will enjoy in the discovery of a new plant ! However 

 insignificant it might appear to one who only looked 

 for beauty in a flower, it will be to you an object of 

 delightful interest ; and probably be found to possess 

 some beauty of structure, or valuable property, which 

 a closer examination alone, could enable you to discover 

 or admire. 



" For wonderful indeed are all His works, 

 Pleasant to know, and worthiest to be all 

 Had in remembrance, always with delight." MILTON. 



June, 1853.
