Catechism of Botany, or, An Easy Introduction to the Vegetable Kingdom: For the Use of Schools and Families - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
It will be to Botany, what a grammar is to language the first step though not the ultimate end. In the last chapter, however, an attempt has been made to enlist curiosity in the service, by showing that Botany is not unproductive of advantage ;and that it is not merely a science of names, as the ignorant and the idle have wished to represent it. If the fruits of the earth are applicable to so many valuable purposes, and if danger must arise to those who are not able to distinguish between the salutary and the noxious, no more need be said in favour of a study which equally recommends itself to our reason and to our fancy. W. MAYOR.
