And treat the world to something more _gigantic_.

Let _Underwood_ all essays sell on _trees_,
On _shrubs_, or growth of _brushwood_ if he please;
All works on _brewing_ leave to Mr. _Porter_,--
To _Boosey--temperance_, for his firm supporter.

Leave to friend _Bull_ all works on _horned cattle_,
While _Reid_ will teach the youthful mind to _prattle_;
Give _Bohn--anatomy_; give _Mason sculpture_;
_Gardiner's engrafted_ upon _horticulture_.

For valuation-tables on the price of laud,
Why should we seek, since _Byfield_ is at hand;
For works on draining either bog or fen,
In _Marsh_ and _Moore_ we have a choice of men.

Give _Sherwood_ tales of merry men, who stood--
Firm to their robbing--around _Robin Hood_.
_Ogle_ takes _optics,--Miller_, works on _grain_,--
_Ridgway_, on _railroads,--Surgery_ with _Payne_.

And still on _Gosling_ some folks say you dote.

But to my plan.--To make the dull ones plod well,

And works on _painting_ should you ever lack,
