This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An History of the Earth, and Animated Nature, Vol. 3 of 4 The bird seems formed entirely for a life of escape; and every part of the anatomy of the animal seems calculated for swiftness. As it is designed to rise upon air, all its parts are proportionally light, and expand a large surface without solidity. In a comparative view with man, their formation seems much ruder and more imperfect; and they are in general found incapable of the docility even of quadrupeds. Indeed, what great degree of sagacity can be expected in animals whose eyes are almost as large as their brain? However, though they fall below quadrupeds in the scale of Nature, and are less imitative of human endowments; yet they hold the next rank, and far surpass fishes and insects, both in the structure of their bodies and in their sagacity. As in mechanics the most curious instruments are generally the most complicated, so it is in anatomy. The body of man presents the greatest variety upon dissection; quadrupeds, less perfectly formed, discover their defects in the simplicity of their conformation; the mechanism of birds is still less complex; fishes are furnished with fewer organs still; while insects, more imperfect than all, seem to fill up the chasm that separates animal from vegetable Nature. Of man, the most perfect animal, there are but three or four species; of quadrupeds, the kinds are more numerous; birds are more various still; fishes yet more; but insects afford so very great a variety, that they elude the search of the most inquisitive pursuer. Quadrupeds, as was said, have some distant resemblance in their internal structure with man; but that of birds is entirely dissimilar. As they seem chiefly formed to inhabit the empty regions of air, all their parts are adapted to their destined situation. It will be proper, therefore, before I give a general history or birds, to enter into a flight detail of their anatomy and conformation. As to their external parts, they seem surprizingly adapted for swiftness of motion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Earth and Animated Nature, Vol. 3 of 6 If we compare the natural habitudes of this class with the former, we shall find that the dog kinds are not so solitary as those of the cat, but love, to hunt in cmnpany, and encourage each other with their mutual cries. In this manner the dog and the jackall pursue their prey; and the wolf and fox, which are of this kind, though more solitary and silent among us, yet in coun tries where less persecuted, and where they more fearlessly display their natural inclinations, they are found to keep togetherdn packs, and pursue their game with alternate hnwlings.

This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Earth and Animated Nature, Vol. 3: Part II Every bird of this kind, habituated to marshy places, may be known, if not by the length of its legs, at least by the scaly sur. Face of them. Those who have observed the legs of a snipe or a woodcock, will easily perceive my meaning; and how different the surface of the skin that covers them is from that of the pigeon or the partridge. Most birds of this kind also, are bare of feathers half way up the thigh; at least, in all of them, above the knee. - Their long habits of wading in the waters, and hav ing their legs continually in moisture, prevents the growth of feathers on those parts; so that there is a surprising difference between the legs of a crane, naked of feathers almost up to the body, and the falcon, booted almost to the very toes. The bill is also very distinguishable in most of this class. It is, in general, longer than that of other birds, and in some finely fluted on every side while at the point it is possessed of extreme sensibility, and furnished with nerves, for the better feeling their food at the bottom of marshes, where it cannot be seen.' Some birds of this class are thus fitted with every convenience; they have long legs, for wading; long necks for stooping; long bills, for searching; and nervous points, for feeling. Others are not to amply provided for; as some have long bills, but legs of no great length; and others have long necks, but very short legs. It is a rule which universally holds, that where the bird's legs are long, the neck is also long in proportion. It would indeed be an incurable defect in the bird's conformation, to be lifted upon stilts above its food, without being furnished with an in strument to reach it.

Both of these are beautifully modified, so as to suit the different habits of the several species, and adapt them to the climates and the ele ments in which they find their food.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Earth, and Animated Nature, Vol. 1 of 6 The world may be considered as one vast mansion, where man has been admitted to enjoy, to admire, and to be grateful. The first desires of savage nature are merely to gratify the importunities of sensual appetite, and to neglect the contemplation of things, barely satisfied with their enjoyment: the beauties of nature, and all the wonders of creation, have but little charms for a being taken up in obviating the wants of the day, and anxious for precarious subsistence. Those philosophers, therefore, who have testified such surprise at the want of curiosity in the ignorant, seem not to consider that they are usually employed in making provisions of a more important nature; in providing rather for the necessities than the amusements of life.
