This world, is a glorious apartment
of the boundless Palace of the sovereign
Creator,
Is furnished with an infinite variety
of animated scenes,
inexpressibly beautiful and pleasing,
equally free to the inspection and enjoyment
of all his creatures.


Perhaps there is not any part of creation,
within the reach of our observations,
which exhibits a more glorious display
of the Almighty hand,
than the vegetable world:
such a variety of pleasing scenes,
ever changing throughout the seasons,
arising from various causes,
and assigned each to the purpose
and use determined;



These most useful Tribes,
[of lower plants]
excite, Love, Gratitude and Adoration
to the Great Creator,
who was pleased to endow them with
such eminent qualities.
and reveal them to us for our
sustenance, amusement and
Delight!
