Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ... WILD APPLES. THE HISTORY OF THE APPLE-TBEE. It ia remarkable how closely the history of the Apple-tree is connected with that of man. The geologist tells us that the order of the Hosacece, which includes the Apple, also the true Grasses, and the Labiatce, or Mints, were introduced only a short time previous to the appearance of man on the globe. It appears that apples made a part of the food of that unknown primitive people whose traces have lately been found at the bottom of the Swiss lakes, supposed to be older than the foundation of Rome, so old that they had no metallic implements. An entire black and shrivelled Crab-Apple has been recovered from their stores. Tacitus says of the ancient Germans, that they satisfied their hunger with wild apples, among other things. Niebuhr1 observes that "the words for a house, a field, a plough, ploughing, wine, oil, milk, sheep, apples, and others relating to agriculture and the gentler ways of life, agree in Latin and Greek, while the Latin words for all objects pertaining to war or the chase are utterly alien from the Greek." Thus 1 A German historical critic of ancient life. the apple-tree may be considered a symbol of peace no less than the olive. The apple was early so important, and so generally distributed, that its name traced to its root in many languages signifies fruit in general. WlrjXav Melon, in Greek, means an apple, also the fruit of other trees, also a sheep and any cattle, and finally riches in general. The apple-tree has been celebrated by the Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, and Scandinavians. Some have thought that the first human pair were tempted by its fruit. Goddesses are fabled to have contended for it, dragons were set to watch it, and heroes were employed to pluck it.1 The...

Excerpt from The Succession of Forest Trees, and Wild Apples The biographical sketch by Emerson which pre cedes the two papers by Thoreau, here printed, has this advantage over most biographies, that it helps one to understand the real man, and does not shut up the reader's interest in a knowledge of the mere circumstances of Thoreau's life. It is like a portrait which carries the eye straight to the character of the man portrayed, and does not arrest it at the dress or decorations. Indeed, Emerson was so impressed by the life and character of Thoreau that he forgot to mention the fact of his death. Thoreau died May 6, 1862. The only full narrative of his life is to be nfound in the volume Henry D. Thoreau, contributed 33 y his friend and fellow-townsman, F. B. Sanborn, to t}! E series of American Men of Letters.
