LETTER XVL<br />

MARLOW, Decemher llihy 1817.<br />

MY DEAR MADAM,<br />

I hasten to send you the work on<br />

botany; may you derive from it the information<br />

you desire. The cultivation of flowers<br />

excites to the contemplation of nature more<br />

than the care of animals, since the animal,<br />

as endowed with a sort of will, and moved<br />

by desires, has not in the same degree the<br />

repose of nature, I reckon two advantages<br />

of a taste for flowers. The firstis produced<br />

by the culture of them, which, since it excludes<br />

all wUfulness, haste, and impatience, quiets<br />

the mind, cheers it by ever-cherished hope.
