"Is it meet," said he, "This creature's name should one so sounding be 'Tis but a fly, though first-born of the spring, Bombylius Majus, dost thou call the thing?" It was not till Sunday, that Lily's eager wish was fulfilled, of introducing her friend and her brothers; but, as she might have foreseen, their first meeting did not make the perfections of either party very clear to the other.
It is distinguished from the ordinary species, by the leaves being cut into narrow lobes, with almost linear tips, a character which is, as we have seen on a previous occasion, repeated in the petals. It is at present nearly as commonly cultivated in botanical gardens as the C. majus, and has escaped in many localities and is observed to thrive as readily as the native wild plants.
God will arise, some day, and, addressing the Protestant oppressor, he will say to him: Thou hast sinned—grievously sinned; but the Catholic governments, on all hands, have still more grievously sinned. Majus peccatum habent.” At the time of the Piedmontese invasion, there were in the city of Rome, one hundred and sixty-eight colleges or public schools.
Fellow-citizens, I now bring this address to a close, by expressing to you, in the words of the great Roman orator, the deepest wish of my heart, and which I know dwells deeply in the hearts of all who hear me: "Duo modo haec opto; unum, UT MORIENS POPULUM ROMANUM LIBERUM RELINQUAM; hoc mihi majus a diis immortalibus dari nihil potest: alterum, ut ita cuique eveniat, ut de republicâ quisque mereatur."
ANTIRRHINUM majus. SNAPDRAGON. This is also a plant deserving the attention of the lover of flowers: it is capable of culture into many very beautiful and interesting varieties. BELLIS perennis. DAISY. This plant affords us many very beautiful varieties for the flower garden. The large Red Daisy and all the other fine kinds are only this plant improved by culture. BUTOMIS umbellatus.
His "Opus Majus" was intended to bring these riches to the unlearned. But he died uncomprehended, and it was reserved for later ages to give recognition to his stupendous work, wrought in the twilight out of dimly comprehended truth.
A species which is easily fertilized by its own pollen, and which bears capsules with large quantities of seeds, obviously affords the best opportunities. As such, I have chosen the common snapdragon of the gardens, Antirrhinum majus. It has many striped varieties, some tall, others of middle height, or of dwarfed stature.
Such translations, appearing in the full scholastic age when everything was against direct observation, cannot be said to have fallen on a fertile ground. They presented an ordered account of nature and a good method of investigation, but those were gifts to a society that knew little of their real value. Roger Bacon, Opus majus, edited by J. H. Bridges, 3 vols., London, 1897-1900.
This is known to occur with a variety of brambles, and is often seen in botanic gardens in one of the oldest and most interesting of all anomalies, the laciniated variety of the greater celandine or Chelidonium majus. Many other instances could be given. Most of them belong to the group of negative variations, as we have defined them.
Miss E. C. Linneus first observed the Tropæolum Majus to emit sparks or flashes in the mornings before sun-rise, during the months of June or July, and also during the twilight in the evening, but not after total darkness came on; these singular scintillations were shewn to her father and other philosophers; and Mr. Wilcke, a celebrated electrician, believed them to be electric.
