Excerpt from An Annotated Translation of the Part of Schweinitz's Two Papers Giving the Rusts of North America

It refers especially to the study of fungi, and as translated by Johnson (memoir, p. 25) reads: A solid basis to this department of botanical science must be laid, not on a sandy foundation, on the varying freaks and fancies of the mind, but on a perpetual daily and nightly employment of microscopic observation, a diligent and oft-repeated examination of the whole history of the fungous tribes, a careful perusal of authors, a comparison of their respective symo nyms, and above all, by the observation of living nature herself, as she unfolds her rich abundance in the recesses of forests, lawns and marshes, an observation which must be continued from day to day, and from year to year.
