Critical revision of the genus eucalyptus volume 7 (Government Botanist of New
South Wales and Director of the Botanic Gardens, Sydney)
“Ages are spent in collecting materials, ages more in separating and combining them. Even
when a system has been formed, there is still something to add, to alter, or to reject. Every
generation enjoys the use of a vast hoard bequeathed to it by antiquity, and transmits that
hoard, augmented by fresh acquisitions, to future ages. In these pursuits, therefore, the first
speculators lie under great disadvantages, and, even when they fail, are entitled to praise.”
Macaulay's “Essay on Milton”
