[2] I have by happy chance just added to my Oxford library the poet Gray's copy of Linnaeus, with its exquisitely written Latin notes, exemplary alike to scholar and naturalist. [3] It was in the year 1860, in June. [4] Admirably engraved by Mr. Burgess, from my pen drawing, now at Oxford. By comparing it with the plate of the same flower in Sowerby's work, the student will at once see the difference between attentive drawing, which gives the cadence and relation of masses in a group, and the mere copying of each flower in an unconsidered huddle.

[7] Properly, Florae Danicae, but it is so tiresome to print the diphthongs that I shall always call it thus. It is a folio series, exquisitely begun, a hundred years ago; and not yet finished. [8] Magnified about seven times. See note at end of this chapter. [9] American,--'System of Botany,' the best technical book I have. [10] 'Dicranum cerviculatum,' sequel to Flora Danica, Tab. MMCCX. [11] The reader should buy a small specimen of this mineral; it is a useful type of many structures.
