Photo, by A. II. glaberrima, T. Camel. PREFATORY AND OTHER NOTES. 15 The whole of the present book is taken up in enumerating theforms of vegetable life which meet the eye of the traveller inpassing over the vast lands and waters of Queensland, and if onehas an eye for the beauties of Floras Kingdom we may safelyimagine one repeating the following lines of Cowper:— Lovely indeed the mimic works of Art,But Natures works far lovelier: I admire,None more admires, the painters magic skill, * * * # * But imitative strokes can do no more Than please the eye, sweet Nature evry sense, The air salubrious of her lofty hills, The cheery fragrance of her dewy vales, And music of her woods—no works of man May rival these; these all bespeak a power Peculiar, and exclusively her own. 22nd November, 1909.
