          think it too much to pay $3 at the 
outset for books. This exercise will contain
te generic descriptions of plants most common
in all the classes. Then a full  list
all species in the Manual, arranged in the
same way, without descriptions. This is to
where the teacher while his pupils are labelling plants. I find this way important. This
little book will contain a vocabulary of its own
terms &c.[etc.].

As to the catalogue of Northern states plants,
I should like it; but it would not sell. Websters
sell none of your catalogues, only what I
force upon some of my students. Few care
about that scientific accuracy &c.[etc.] &c.[etc.] They 
wish to know plants, and that is all. I can
kindle a b;aze of that kind of zeal anywhere,
and I can and do make every body respect
and honor your name. But I can make
no one willing to set down and search authorities.
