A MODEL FIELD-NATURALIST. % 



I HAVE lately been visit- 

 ing a gentleman who 

 might serve most admi- 

 rably as a model to any 

 one of the ardent mem- 

 bers of a society such 

 as I outlined in the last 

 chapter. His home is on the 

 bank of the Delaware River, in central 

 New Jersey. The place was the 

 3 seat of an old Quaker neighbor- 

 ^ hood long before the Revolution, 

 and Washington's soldiers passed 

 along its roads and crossed its fields 

 many a time. Later, many men 

 who became famous naturalists 

 have lived or visited there — Alex- 

 ander Wilson, Lucien Bonaparte 

 (Prince of Mnsignano), Titian 

 Peale, Rafinesqne, Thomas 

 Say, Dr. God man, Tim- ^
