The field, the garden and the woodland, or, Interesting facts respecting flowers and plants in general . ysthe inspired writer, are revealed by the thingswhich are made, and it is alike our duty and pri-vilege to contemplate them in this view. Butwhile we value the lessons taught by natural re-ligion,—while we rejoice in the manifestationafforded by nature of the power und goodness ofGod,—we must remember that the book of nature,although it confirms that of Revelation, does notsupersede its necessity.

Study,therefore, I entreat you, the book of nature, but,above all, lay up deeply in your heart the truths ofRevelation. THE END. London: Printed by W. Clowes and Sons, Stamforl btreet.
