Palm Sunday, by Maria Callcott 64715 [Subtitle: or, Little Mary's Saturday's walk] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/7/1/64715 ] [Files: 64715-0.txt; 64715-h.htm] For those wishing to know: this was written by Lady Callcott in 1840 to help raise funds for some of the projects for the poor within Kensington, near London, England. On the surface it's the clergyman's daughter noticing various plants which are useful in medicine, and her father explaining explaining how some Palm Sunday traditions came about. By today's standards it's cringe-worthy but I'm rather glad lady Callcott was involved in helping the Kensington poor, and that we see a description of some of them in this short pamphlet. All the best, David, Cold and damp England
