The period when Theophrastus published his work, in which be gives the above account of the rose, as known to the Greeks — at which period the horticultural art was in a state quite incapable of producing flowers corre- sponding in beauty and fira...grance with those celebrated in the Odes — was the hundred and sixteenth Olympiad t while the period when Anacreon flourished can- not be brought lower than the aixty-fiftb, being a diflerence of more than two cen- turies. — 2.
