The geologist tells us that the order of the Rosaceae, which includes the Apple, also the true Grasses, and the Labiatae, or Mints, were introduced only a short time previous to the appearance of man on the globe.  It appears that apples made a part of the food of that unknown primitive people whose traces have lately been found at the bottom of the Swiss lakes, supposed to be older than the foundation of Rome, so old that they had no metallic implements. An entire black and shrivelled Crab-Apple has been recovered from their stores.\"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry David Thoreau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1774419750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774419755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Binker North\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.07d","brand":"Henry David Thoreau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46250591518975,"sku":"9781774419755","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_884b9cab-b4fa-4a02-b81c-40aa483cf55a.jpg?v=1729600805","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wild-apples-henry-david-thoreau-9781774419755","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
