Abstract
IT would be difficult to conceive of a more apt title to this collection of exquisite open-air essays than that chosen by the author, whose little volume is by its very simplicity and fragrance bound to appeal to many readers, especially of natural history, as being something that will live. The author must indeed have been inspired when he took up his pen to describe with such vivid directness his impressions of the country he loved so well. To use his own words: “You exult because you are alive and your spirit possesses this broad, domed earth.”
