Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annals and Magazine of Natural History, Vol. 13: Including Zoology, Botany, and Geology "Omnes res creataesunt divinae sapientiae et potentiae testes, divitiae felicitatis humanae: - ex harum usu bonitas Creatoris; ex pulchritudine sapientia Domini; ex oeconomia in conservatione, pr oportione, renovatione, potentia majestatis elucet. Earum itaque indagatio ab hominibus sibi relictis semper aestimata; a vere eruditis et sapientibus semper exculta; male doctis et barbaris semper inimica fuit." - Linnaeus. "Quel que soit le principe de la vie animale, il ne faut qu'ouvrir les yeux pour voir qu'elle est le chef-d'oeuvre de la Toute-puissance, et le but auquel se rapportent toutes ses operations." - Bruckner, Theorie du Systeme Animal, Leyden, 1767. . . . . . . . . . . . .The sylvan powers Obey our summons; from their deepest dells The Dryads come, and throw their garlands wild And odorous branches at our feet; the Nymphs That press with nimble step the mountain-thyme And purple heath-flower come not empty-handed, But scatter round ten thousand forms minute Of velvet moss or lichen, torn from rock Or ritted oak or cavern deep: the Naiads too Quit their loved native stream, from whose smooth face They crop the lily, and each sedge and rush That drinks the rippling tide: the frozen poles, Where peril waits the bold adventurer's tread, The burning sands of Borneo and Cayenne, All, all to us unlock their secret stores And pay their cheerful tribute.
