From the See also:life See also:insurance business, in Brooklyn, he soon turned to the study of natural See also:history and See also:illustration,—he had sketched See also:flowers and See also:insects when he was only eight years old, had See also:long been interested in See also:botany and See also:entomology, and had acquired See also:great skill in making See also:wax flowers,—and his first drawings, of a technical See also:character, were published in 187o.
