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_. Hail! Pic-a-dilly _Hatchard_, thy vocation Should be prolific, for 'tis _incubation_; Thy pious care brought _Egley_ into _note_, And still on _Gosling_ some folks say you dote. But to my plan.--To make the dull ones plod well, Books for the use of _schools_, give Mr. _Rodwell_; And works on _painting_ should you ever lack, |
