Excerpt from The Phenomena of Plant Life
What the crocus during winter is in the earth, the flower-buds Of many trees are upon the boughs. These very trees, which. To the eye are least provided with flowery charms, and which never aspire, even in the height of their life, to be more than what neutral tints are to the artist, - these very trees are in winter,so rich in wonder, as to take rank with the most alluring forms of nature. The common hazel-nut in mid-win ter is hung with innumerable gray-green clusters the alder and willow-buds swell with leafy effort; the lat ter Often burst before Christmas, and disclose their silky contents. Everywhere there is the note of prep aration, and though the cold days and colder nights may chill their sap, the movement is still upwards spring is the desire, spring is the promised land and though the fireside may prove more inviting than the woodland, and incuriousness may leave them all unob served, no matter; every tree moves its steady way, seeking outlets at a thousand points; and by-and-by.

Excerpt from The Phenomena of Plant Life
The delightful series of papers which compose this little volume are taken from recent numbers of an English periodical, "The Intellectual Repository."
We are led to collect and publish them in this form, from the great pleasure their perusal has afforded ourselves.
They will be found to describe, in beautiful language, the still more beautiful, and living "Phenomena of Plant Life;" and, if we mistake not, will afford a rich mental and moral repast to every careful reader.
Referring mainly to the character of the work, we doubt if a more elegant gift volume will be offered the present season.
