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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An History of the Earth, Vol. 2 of 4: And Animated Nature Of infects, the ruminating tribe is still larger; the mole, the cricket, the wasp, the drone, the bee, the grashopper, and the beetle. All these animals either actually chew the cud, or seem at least to ruminate. They have the stomach composed of muscular fibres, by means whereof the food is ground up and down, in the fame manner as in those which are particularly distinguished by the appellation of ruminants. But not these alone; men themselves have been often known to ruminate, and some even with pleasure. The accounts of these calamities, for such I must consider them, incident to our fellow-creatures, are not very pleasant to read; yet I must transcribe a short one, as given us by flare, in the philosophical transactions, as it may, in some measure, show the satisfaction which the lower tribes of animals enjoy, while they ruminate. The man in question was a citizen of Bristol, of about twenty years of age, and, what seemed more extraordinary dill, of a ruminating family, for his father was frequently subject to the fame infirmity, or amusement, as he himself perhaps would call it. This young man usually began to chew his meat over again within about a quarter of an hour after eating. His ruminating after a full meal, generally laded about an hour and a half; nor could he sleep until this task was performed. The victuals, upon the return, tasted even more pleasantly than at first; and returned as if they had been beaten up in a mortar. If he ate a variety of things, that which he ate first came up again first; and if this return was interrupted for any time, it produced sickness and disorder, and he was never well till it returned. Instances of this kind, however, are rare and accidental; and it is happy for mankind they arc so. Of all other animals, we spend the lead time in eating: this is one of the great distinctions between us and the brute creation; and eating is a pleasure of so low a kind, that none but such as are nearly allied to the quadruped, desire its prolongation.
