The wealthy and respectable Englishman, who is a connoisseur, will purchase nothing that is common ; for if pretty, he has it already in his garden ; — and the poor Londoner who cannot afford to buy what is beautiful, will still obtain, if possible, something green to decorate the window of his dark little attic *, and give his last farthing for a bit of verdure.
