Strana 104 - Of courage undaunted ; possessing a firmness and perseverance of purpose which nothing but impossibilities could divert from its direction; careful as a 'father of those committed to his charge, yet steady in the maintenance of order and discipline; intimate with the Indian character, customs, and principles; habituated to the hunting life ; guarded, by exact observation of the vegetables and animals of his own country, against losing time in the description of objects already possessed; honest,...
Strana 359 - I can tell you obtains much in America. Mr. Clayton, and Dr. Colden at Albany, on Hudson's River, in New York, are complete professors, as is Dr. Mitchell at Urbana, on Rapahanock River, in Virginia. It is he that has made many and great discoveries in the vegetable world.
Strana 143 - The leaves for these ought to be collected about 10 AM on a sunny morning, when the dew has evaporated. The Powchong can only be manufactured from the leaves of the first crop ; but the Mingehew, although it requires the same care in making as the other, can yet be made from any crop, provided it is made on a sunny morning.

Strana 290 - Some on the lower boughs, which cross'd their way, Fixing their bearded fibres, round and round, With many a ring and wild contortion wound ; Some to the passing wind, at times with sway Of gentle motion swung ; Others of younger growth, unmoved, were hung Like stone-drops from the cavern's fretted height.
Strana 104 - ... and discipline; intimate with the Indian character, customs, and principles; habituated to the hunting life; guarded, by exact observation of the vegetables and animals of his own country, against losing time in the description of objects already possessed; honest, disinterested, liberal, of sound understanding, and a fidelity to truth so scrupulous, that whatever he should report would be as certain as if seen by ourselves; with all these qualifications, as if selected and implanted by nature...
Strana 358 - I shall send you the characters as near as I can translate them." Then follows Miss Colden's detailed generic character, prepared in a manner which would not be discreditable to a botanist of the present day. It is a pity that Linnaeus did not adopt the genus, with Miss Colden's name, which is better than Salisbury's Coptis. " This young lady merits your esteem, and does honour to your system.
Strana 360 - of reading your Species Planlarum, a very useful and laborious work. But, rny dear friend, we that admire you are much concerned that you should perplex the delightful science of botany with changing names that have been well received, and adding new names quite unknown to us. Thus botany, which was a pleasant study, and attainable by most men, is now become, by alterations and new names, the study of a man's life, and none now but real professors can pretend to attain it. As I love you, I tell...
Strana 358 - This young lady merits your esteem, and does honor to your system. She has drawn and described 400 plants in your method : she uses only English terms.
Strana 366 - Scouler, Mr. Tolmie, Dr. Gairdner, and numerous officers of the Hudson's Bay Company, from almost every part of the vast territory embraced in their operations, from one side of the continent to the other.
