some dense course would be the most enjoyable thing imaginable. Will I never be able to, study nature as I could, until, by a partial isolation or complete isolation from her, keenness of my interest will have been dulled? I hope not, and I think not. I have just finished Burrough’s “Locust’s and Wild Honey.” Evidently he had most of his time to give over to his study. I envy him. Writing as he did, fifty years ago, he has a nature which is wilder than ours if to-day, perhaps more lovable, but broader. I find that so many of his impressions coincide with my own.
