not one would care to buy the sketches of another. If you do not like the work of teaching I would not advise you to teach,

you will find the work of teaching these branches very pleasant also very remunerative You certainly have more than ordinary

Botany is a science that requires a great deal of patient study, those who can teach it 3 are not very numerous I think
that you would do well to acquire a good knowl edge of botany with a view to teach it, Those who study Botany music drawing
are generally old enough sufficiently engaged with their lessons to behave themselves, they belong to a more refined better

of society things in general
