In mind, and in reputation, these sons of the soil and distinguished naturalists were also self-cultivated, self-educated men. Brought into intimate contact, by their daily avocations, with some of the most interesting works of nature, they did not close their eyes, as so many of us do, to the beauties and wonders by which they were surrounded. They regarded with scrutinizing curiosity the springing blade, the opening bud, the blooming flower, the ripening fruit, with which nature seemed alive ...in all but infinite varieties. They soon found it to be among their highest earthly pleasures to make themselves acquainted with the secrets, principles, and unnumbered varieties of the system, in this department of nature's wonder-workings. The enthusiasm with which respectively and successively they de- voted themselves to the study, and the industry and perseve- rance with which they followed it, was accompanied with a modesty, prudence, worth, and other sterling virtues, which must endear their memory 'to all who read their lives, and give it a place in the inner shrine of every naturalist.
