* The first present I had this year was a monster Bramble of the genus Rubiis, 

 twenty-three feet in length, the growth of the past season. In London I suppose 

 this production would be seasonably called the Leviathan Bramble. It was cut in 

 Quarr Wood, by a friend of ours, and I intend to hang it up as an emblem of vege- 

 table beauty. I doubt not this Briar would be much admired by Mr. Ruskin, as 

 it is so finely proportioned, and the thorns which stud the surface are beautifully 

 arranged. I wish I could enclose for you to see. It speaks well for the exuber- 

 ance of Vectis vegetation.
