88, 590 1, 644, 619 PART II. FRUITS. CHAPTER I. Introduction. Fruits of the Temperate Climates. Fleshy Fruits. Apple ; Pear ; Quince ; Ornamental Crabs ; Medlar. WHETHER we regard their beauty, their variety, the extent over which they are diffused, or their agree- ableness and value to man, there is no class of sub- stances more interesting than the Fruits. Their progressive cultivation, and their removal, by wan- dering tribes or conquerors, from region to region, associate them in a very rem...arkable degree with the history of the human race. This historical connexion of fruits with the progress of civilization is sometimes fabulous, and generally obscure ; but the great revo- lutions of society may be traced in their gradual distribution over the surface of the globe : for where- ever man has penetrated, in that spirit of change and activity which precedes or accompanies civilization, he has assisted the dissemination of vegetable produc- tions much more surely and rapidly than the birds which bear their seeds from land to land, than the currents of the ocean, or even the winds.
