Excerpt from On the Beauties, Harmonies, and Sublimities of Nature, Vol. 3 of 4: With Occasional Remarks on the Laws, Customs, Manners, and Opinions of Various Nations

Since illustrations of excursion, if the term maybe allowed, unpart beauty to strength; colour to form; variety to monotony and render more evident Nature's unison of systematic accordance. The perfume of the citron may be imparted to less favoured fruits, by infusing its essence into the sap of their roots.
