KIDD'S 



OWN JOURNAL: 



FOR 



INTER-COMMUNICATIONS ON NATURAL HISTORY, 



POPULAR SCIENCE, AND THINGS IN GENERAL. 



CONDUCTED BY 



WILLIAM KIDD, OF HAMMERSMITH. 



VOLUME I. 



Come ! 

 Let us seek the bank, where fiow'ring Elders crowd ; 

 Where, scatter'd wild the Lily of the Vale 

 Its balmy essence breathes ; where Cowslips hang 

 The dewy head ; where purple violets lurk, 

 With all the lowly children of the shade. 

 So shall our well-stored page the fancy lead 

 Through every rural scene.
