About this book

In Pseudodoxia Epidemica (1646), Sir Thomas Browne, an essayist close to the heart of Thoreau, reports that authorities as venerable as Pliny, Seneca, Saint Augustine, and Gregory the Great believed that crystals were "nothing else, but Ice or Snow concreted, and by duration of time, congealed beyond liquation."
