This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Earth and Animated Nature, Vol. 2 In all birds, except nocturnal ones, the head is smaller, and bears less proportion to the body than in quadrupeds, that it may more readily divide the air in flying, and make way for the body, so as to render its passage more easy. Their eyes also are more flat and depressed than in quadrupeds a circle of small plates of bone, placed scalewise, under the outer coat of the organ, encompasses the pupil on each, to strengthen and defend it from injuries. Besides this, birds have a kind of skin, called the nictitating membrane, with which, like a vail, they can at pleasure cover their eyes, though their eye-lids continue open. This membrane takes its rise from the greater or more obtuse corner of the eye, and serves to wipe, cleanse, and probably to mois ten its surface. The eyes, though they out wardly appear but small, yet, separately, each almost equals the brain whereas in man the brain is more than twenty times larger than the orbit of the eye. Nor is this organ in birds less adapted for vision by a particular expansion of the optic nerve, which renders the impressions of external objects more vivid and distinct.

But the meaner tribes of animals are made still more capable of sustaining life without food, many of them remaining in a state of torpid in difference till their prey approaches, when they jump upon and seize it. In this manner, the snake, or the spider, continue for several months together to subsist upon a single meal; and some of the butterfly kinds live upon little or nothing. But it is very different with man: his wants daily make their importunate demands; and it is known that he cannot continue to live many days with out eating, drinking, and sleeping.

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.
