Synopsis

Excerpt from Essays, Vol. 1 of 2: Contributed to the 'Quarterly Review'To make up a good observer! Attention, patience, quickness to seize separate facts, discrimination to keep them uncon fused, readiness to combine them, and rapidity and yet slow ness of induction; above all, perfect fidelity, which can be seduced neither by the enticements of a favourite theory nor by the temptation to see a little more than actually happens in some passing drama. But besides these advantages, which it shares with many other pursuits, natural history has some which are peculiarly its own. Whatever tends to attach man to the works and manifestations of God in the natural world around us, addresses itself to higher faculties than those which reside merely in the understanding.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
