Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Studies From Nature Among the sounds which greet the ear of the wayfarer as the shades of evening deepen into night, one of the commonest is a rather faint chiiping noise which comes my steriously from overhead. On looking up in search of the source of this peculiar sound, we may see a, small, dark, shadow-like creature sweeping to and fro with great rapidity. It is one of the curious group of animals called Bats, representatives of which are to be met with in all countries, always active at night or in the twilight, and presenting a remarkable general similarity of structure, although in some respects they may differ considerably in habits. In the British Islands some fourteen species have been distinguished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Round the Year: A Series of Short Nature-Studies I have given the title of Round the Year to a series of sketches suggested by the natural events of the year 1895. The principles of selection have been simple: I have written upon things which happened to interest me at the time, which seemed to admit of popular treatment, and which had not been fully discussed, so far asi knew, in elementary books. Another naturalist would have made a different choice; all the naturalists in the world could not exhaust the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Nature The agency by which civilization is rendered progressive is education. Whatever is visioned as a good for the race as a whole, education is to make the possession of the many. In general the great educational agencies of the race are the world-spirit, environment, and the teacher. The world-spirit is the the influence of Divine Providence upon the human soul. The whole race is at school to this supernatural and potential force. More than we know, this world-spirit educates us. The distinctive quality of this influence may be called "education by atmosphere." Its best results are by indirection. We are prone to underestimate the far-reaching and vitally significant power that lies in the subtle suggestions of "the still small voice," and that thrills the spirit with reverent awe. Communion with the unseen is nutrition of the loftiest character. Environment is the influence of natural law and social custom moulding man steadily but imperceptibly into the perfect product that is at once the hope and the despair of the idealist. Environment sets all the currents of the soul a flow with streams of influence that, unchecked, lift the individual to his ideal state. There can be no potency in an education that does not give the learner vivid impressions from actual contact with things. The word "bug" can never mean as much educationally as the real bug. In fact, the worth of the former as an educational agency depends upon its following close upon an experience with the latter.

My repeated whacks, littering the whole neighbor hood with chips (which already had attracted a swarm of carpenter bees), seemed to have no more effect than would the cracking of hickory-nuts at the base of Pompey's Pillar.

Download or read book Studies in Nature and Country Life Classic Reprint written by Catherine D. Whetham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Nature and Country Life Most of us, I believe, have far more chances of living with Nature and of trying to under stand the meaning and beauty of the world around us than we are at all able to profit by. We have eyes but we do not see, we have ears but we do not hear, and so we go through life, missing half the pleasures that have been pre pared for us, and understanding but a small part of what we do not miss. Let us therefore try to learn while we may, how to make good use of our time. The best way to begin is to go out into the country for a little while and look about us, and then, when we have remembered and thought over what we have seen, go again to find out if the things we notice are still there and look the same as they did before. Some of the ones we saw at first will have altered and new ones will have appeared. By going out at different times of the day and different seasons of the year we shall soon know what there is to be seen. This is the way in which artists and poets study the world, and find out a great deal more about it than most of us will ever do. They will not perhaps spend much time in the fields, but they will see a great deal, and remember some special part of what they have seen. They have this wonderful gift of observation. More over, they can afterwards tell us what they have seen, and can put down the meaning of it to them in colours or in words for us to study.

Pierre's studies or nature cannot be better introduced to the World, than in the nervous and elegant language of dr. Hunter's Preface to the London edition. I have read, ' says he, few performances with more complete satisfaction, and with greater improve ment, than the studies OF nature in no one have I found the useful and the agreeable more happily blended. What work ofscience displays a more sublime theology, inculcates a purer morality, or breathes a more ardent and more expansive philan thropy? St. Pierre has enabled me to contemplate the Universe with other eyes, has furnished new arguments to combat Atheism, has established be yond the power of contradiction the doctrine of a universal Providence, has excited a warmer interest in favour of suffering humanity, and has disclosed sources unknown of intellectual enjoyment. Unfet tered by system, unawed by authority, he looks im mediately into Nature: he observes, he thinks, he reasons for himself; and teaches his Reader thus to observe, think, and reason.'
