Excerpt from Autumnal Leaves It is a singular circumstance that, with all the resources which art possesses in the present day, and in view, especially, of the wealth of illustra tion that has been brought into requisition in the endeavour to reproduce the flowers of the field, ' no one should have attempted to reproduce the blossoms of Autumn as represented by autumnal leaves.

Merely general references - such as may be found abundantly both in poetry and prose - to the glory and beauty of Autumn.
