APPENDIX. 



Here is a pedestal of corresponding architecture, and who will 

 say, that a hive surmounting it, and placed in the flower-garden, 

 would not be a beautiful ornament 1 If I had to live on a short 

 allowance of food for a year, in order to possess a hive and pedes- 

 tal of this kind, I would do it, if no other means would obtain them. 

 But let such as have no taste for the elegant and beautiful, have 

 hives of a more common order. This work will suit every taste. 

 The pedestal does not go with the hive, as a necessary appendage; 

 neither does the urn, nor the dental course. The hive may be 

 made perfectly plain, if desired, at the cost of ordinary hives, and 

 still possess all its practical advantages. 



The reader is referred to my advertisement for the price of this 

 hive, &c., in the sequel to this work.
