Concord, Mass. Thoreau writes in his journal:
Leaving Lowell at 7 A.M. in the cars, I observed and admired the dew on a fine grass in the meadows, which was almost as white and silvery as frost when the rays of the newly risen sun fell on it . . . (Journal, 14:76-77).
Cambridge, Mass. Thoreau checks out The herball or generall historie of plantes by John Gerard from Harvard College Library (Companion to Thoreau’s Correspondence, 292).
