From which of F.W. Boreham's works does the following citation come:
"The bursting buds of spring push off the last lingering leaves
of the previous season, and thus decline to have anything to do with
the generation that preceded them, to say nothing of the generation
before that. Among animals and birds a certain filial affection is
sometimes found for fathers and mothers, but of the grandfather and
grandmother never a trace. But a man is so much greater than either a
tree or a beast that a special factor is introduced into his training.
He comes under the influence not only of teachers and tutors, of
fathers and mothers, but grandfathers and grandmothers as well"?

Check this link. Read carefully.

To senski-ga: the link you provided me was the original source of my
unreferenced citation. I am now trying to reference it to the
particular work of F. W. Boreham in which it's found. Thanks.
