Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Horticulture, Cottage Gardener, and Country Gentleman, 1862, Vol. 27: A Journal of Horticulture, Rural and Domestic Economy, Botany and Natural History In that picture the elder form, with pensive reflective face turned upon the background prospect, well impersonates the recent past. That face indicates reflection gathering wisdom from events bears the impress of regret that more was not accomplished during days gone by, and of sorrow for those taken from us during their continuance. The expression of that face well accords with private regret and sorrow for those irrevocable events; nor is it less expressive of the sorrow of our whole nation for the Leader we have lost - not merely the Leader of a Royal household, but a Leader in all things tending to the improvement of physical and intellectual life. The heart feels relieved, and the eye brightens, as it looks upon the fair, smiling, upraised features of the other and more youthful figure in that picture. Those onward-looking features are indicative of good resolves, and beaming with hope that those resolves will be abundantly fruitful. They are emblematic of the future we are looking towards. We have resolved to be still more useful even than heretofore. In that future are to be fulfilled the promises of fresh aid; in it beneficial discoveries are to be revealed; we are aware of new illustrations to which it will give birth; and in that future the appropriate riches of the International Exhibition will have to be examined and reported. So, we are hopeful, trustful, and powerful, not only because the approaching harvest is plenteous but because our harvestmen are vigorous and well-skilled. Nor do our causes for looking smilingly towards the future end there, because we are well assured that the samples from our gamers will be above an average of excellence and the past gives a guarantee that we shall obtain for them a ready sale.
