About this Item

BURT, Struthers [458] pp. Charles Scribner's Sons 1933 First Edition 7 1/2" x 5 1/2" Cover artwork by R. Duvoisin In 1825 Sir Peregrine Wilder was the British governor, and one afternoon driving about the outskirts of the town with Lady Wilder, and feeling very much like God, he pointed to a bottle-shaped swamp that ran in from the harbor between low hills, and said, I think there IS the spot for our botanical garden. Unconsciously he chose the swamp because it was the hardest possible place to start a botanical garden, and that afternoon, as has been said, he felt very much like God and very English.
