g6 THE FERN WORLD 
rarest Ferns, and the greatest abundance of the more plenti- 
ful kinds, are to be found in the wildest haunts of Nature, 
lying in regions far away from the habitations of man. To 
the rich, such far-reaching rambles will be easy of attain- 
ment. But even to the poorest, there will often come 
opportunities for indulging to some extent in this delightful 
pastime; and with a taste for Fern hunting, will naturally 
come a love for other of the beautiful works of creation ; 
and the heart will be lifted up in thankfulness to the wise 
Giver of all good things.
