IN whatever place we first become aware that we are livin beings, the scene which we survey is limited to a very sma part of the' whole system of Nature - that is, of what exists. F we look beyond the house in which we live, we probably see other houses, fields, hills, plains, or a part of the sea. If we look upward, a more extensive view is presented; we there behold the clear blue sky, where the sun shines by day, and the moon and stars by night. But even these large plains, and that wide sky, are only a part, and a very small part, of what exists. Far beyond the hills which bound our new, there are other plains and hills; and far beyond the stars which we see by night there are other stars without number. 2. Vs young person has some notion of the distance called a mile. I he were to walk a few miles from the place where he lives, he would come to other places quite stran e to him; and if he were to walk many more miles, he woul still come to new places. The parish in which he lives is only a few miles in extent; but this parish is but a I? Of a county, which is again of a state or kingdom. He state is probably many reds of miles long, and some hundreds broad, and it con tains so many people, that it is not easy for a child to understand their number. But, after all, a state is only a small part of the surface of the earth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
