Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Evolution of Horticulture in New England
They do but submit to the great law of nature, which declares that all sublunary shapes of matter shall be limited in their duration, but which decrees, also, that their elements shall never perish. Generation alter generation, both in animal and vegetable life, passes away, but the vital principle is transmitted to posterity, and the species continue to ?ourish. Thus, also, do authors beget authors, and having produced a numerous progeny, in a good old age they sleep with their fathers, that is to say, with the authors who preceded them - and from whom they had stolen.'
