It brought so vividly to mind the delights which came to me over a third of a century ago when I read that classic, not only in the presentation of the art side, but also in the revelation of the processes of scieti- tific discovery—" Langstroth on the ; Langstroth combined in himself that happiest trio of possessions—genius, rich culture, and, best of all, a pure,.
