Excerpt from The Companion for the Orchard: An Historical and Botanical Account of Fruits Known in Great Britain It is, says he, an employment the most worthy Of the application of man, the most ancient and the most suitable to his nature it is the common nurse Of all per sons in every age and condition Of life; it is the source of health, strength, plenty, riches, and of a thousand sober delights and honest pleasures; it is the mistress and school of sobriety, temperance, justice, religion, and, in short, of all virtues, both civil and military.

At Rome, especially during the Commonwealth, the greatest generals, consuls, and dictators, with the same victorious hands that overthrew the enemies Of their state in war, turned up the earth in time of peace.
