Book Description

Excerpt from Stray Leaves of Science and Folk-Lore My Lord, Dedications, I am informed by critical people versed in the study of fashion, are out of date. To one like myself, who never professed to move with fashion, that does not signify much. I dedicate these Stray Leaves to your Lordship out of respect for the advanced and generous sentiments conveyed by your Lordship's public utterances, and in recognition of some trouble your Lordship willingly undertook in a matter concerning myself.
