Its name has been soiled and fouled by the feculencies of Holywell Street , its celebration mis understood and prostituted by the Church , and its life threatened and blackguardized by the Law .

Under a southern sun this same plant loses its fibrous texture, but secretes, in quantities equal to one-third of its bulk, an opaque and greenish resin. Between the northern and the southern hemp there is no difference, except the effect of diversity of climate upon the same vegetable essence; yet naturalists, misled by the much greater extent of gummy secretion in the lat…
