Book excerpt: Excerpt from An History of the Earth, and Animated Nature, Vol. 1 of 4 If, for lnfiance, aman fhould, in his walks, meet with an animal, the name, and confequently the billory of which, he defires to know, he is taught, by fyitematie writers of natural billory, to examine its moft obvious qualities, whether a qua-m draped, a bird, a fifh, or an infect. Having determined it, for Cxplanation fake, to be an infect, he examines whether it has wings; if he finds it poffefied of thefe, he is taught to exa mine whether it has two or four if poffeffed of four, he is taught to obferve, whether the two upper wings are of a lhelly hardnefs, and ferve as cafes to thofe under them 5 if he finds the Wings compofed in this manner, he is then taught to pro nounce that this infect is one of the beetle kind: of the bee tle kind, there are three different clafi'es, difiinguifhed from each other by their feelers; he examines the infect. Before him, and finds that the feelers are clavated, or knobbed at the ends; of beetles, with feelers thus formed, there are ten kinds; and among thofe, he is taught to look for the precife name of that'which is before him. If, for inf'tance, the knob be divided at the ends, and the belly be fireaked with white, it is no other than the Dor or Maybug; an animal, the noxious qualities of which, give it a very dif'tinguifhed rank in the hiftory of the infect creation. In this manner, a fyftem of natural hiftorymay, in fome meafure, be compared to a dictionary of words. Both are folely intended to explain the names of things but with this difference, that, in the dictionary of words, we are led from the name of a thing to its definition 5 whereas, in the fyf'cem of natural hif'tory, we are led from the definition to find out the name.

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.

These feathers are of two sorts - feathers for clothing, to protect the animal from the vicissitudes of the weather, and feathers for ight. 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 A History of the Earth, and Animated Nature, Vol. 2 of 6 As man, in all the privileges he enjoys, and the powers he is invested with, has a superiority over all other animals, so in his necessities he seems inferior to the meanest of them all. Nature has brought him into life with a greater variety of wants and infirmities than the rest of her creatures, unarmed in the midst of enemies. The lion has natural arms, the bear natural clothing; but man is destitute of all such advantages, and, from the superiority of his mind alone, he is to supply the deficiency. The number of his wants, however, were merely given in order to multiply the number of his enjoyments; since the possibility of being deprived of any good, teaches him the value of its possession.
