Cerasonte, a town in the kingdom of Pontus, to 
Rome, by Lucullus. It is not the less true, how¬ 
ever, that our woods have always produced several 
species of wild cherry, which require nothing 
but careful cultivation to change their harsh, sour 
berries into that delicious fruit which is an orna¬ 
ment to our gardens and our desserts, and a 
favouri^ with young and old. 
Grace, Hundred-leaved Rose. When the Graces 
accompany Venus, and the Loves, they are 
crowned with myrtle; when they attend the 
Muses, they are represented as adorned with 
wreaths of the Hundred-leaved Rose. 
Grandeur, Ash-tree. In the Edda, the gods are 
said to hold their court under a miraculous Ash- 
tree, which covers the surface of the whole world 
with its branches. ’Phe top of this tree reaches 
the sky; its roots penetrate to hell. From the 
latter issue two springs ; in one of which wisdom 
is hidden, and iu the other is contained the know¬ 
ledge of futurity.
