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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Earth and Animated Nature, Vol. 2 All birds are covered with feathers, and they are the only animals which, properly speaking, are so. 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.

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.
