Synopsis
Excerpt from The Annual Address Before the Harvard Natural History Society, 1853
WE have the honor of informing you that the Natural History Society unanimously voted that a copy of your highly interesting and instruo ive Address be requested for publication.
The Address not only defined clearly and satisfactorily the true place and objects of the science of Natural History, and defended the study of nature from the imputations which are sometimes cast upon it, but also treated with great soundness and liberality of many extremely important questions of general interest.
Deeming your remarks upon these subjects worthy of a more careful consideration than could be given at a single hearing, we trust that you will comply with the request of the Society.

About the Author
Tom Hill lives in Huntington, in the Green Mountains of Vermont, where he has been building boats and houses since 1972. He reckons he has built more than a hundred boats in that time, and has repaired hundreds more--everything from canoes and rowboats to 60-foot power yachts. Although he has worked with all types of wood construction as well as fiberglass, he has used glued plywood plank construction almost exclusively since being introduced to the method in 1980. Tom has taught boatbuilding classes since 1981 at The WoodenBoat School (Brooklin, Maine), The Brookfield Craft Center (Brookfield, Connecticut), the Shelburne Craft School (Shelburne, Vermont), and The Appalachian Center for the Crafts (Smithville, Tennessee). The boating he likes best is gunkholing--poking along interesting shores and exploring coves, estuaries, and inland waterways in canoes, kayaks, and small sailboats--but he appreciates ocean cruising as well, and once sailed his 28-foot sloop from Lake Champlain to the Bahamas and back while living aboard her for a year.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the interdisciplinary nature of Natural History. The author argues that all human knowledge can be categorized into five divisions: theology, psychology, history, natural history, and mathematics. By establishing this hierarchy, the book underscores the significance of Natural History as a gateway to understanding the physical world. Exploring the dynamic relationship between consciousness and observation, the author delves into the disciplines of astronomy, mechanics, chemistry, botany, and zoology. They emphasize the essential role of mathematics and physics in interpreting biological phenomena, providing a holistic perspective on the study of life. The book also explores the fundamental question of whether vital forces can be reduced to the forces of heat, light, and electricity. The author challenges readers to consider an independent force of vitality, inviting critical examination of the nature of life itself. Comprehensive and engaging, this book offers a fresh perspective on the vast tapestry of Natural History and its essential role in our understanding of the universe. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
