Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Natural History of Animals The study of Nature is the basis of Religion; and in the primitive ages of the world, previous to the epoch of revelation, mankind had no other guide to direct them to a knowledge of the existence and attributes of the Deity, than the contemplation of his works. These, indeed, exhibited such evident proofs of his power, his wisdom, and his goodness, as were sufficient to convince rational creatures, that a self-existent and infinite Being was the source and origin of all existence. This St. Paul so well understood, that he condemns the Gentiles, because, after having recognised the Supreme Being in the works of the creation, they neglected to worship him, and considers them as inexcus able; Because, says he, the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Natural History for Young People Although the number of works on Natural History might deter any new writer from venturing on so extensively handled a subject, there is at present no work of a really popular character in which accuracy of information and system atic arrangement are united with brevity and simplicity of treatment. All the best-known popular works on Natural History are liable to many obice tions, among which may be named a want of correct classification, the absence of explanations of the meanings and derivations of scientific words, the strange inaccuracy of many of the accompanying illustrations, and of the accounts of many animals. Nor do the conventional anecdotes chronicled in their pages evince that personal experience of the animal race which alone can repress romance and prevent inaccuracy. These deficiencies, it is hoped, are at all events partly sup plied in the present work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chapters on the Natural History of the United States It will be observed that quite a large number of the illustra tions are reproduced from photographs of living animals of va rions species and kinds. These were all taken by myself from the living subjects, and nearly in every instance of natural size. Too much cannot be said in favor of the constant use of the photographic camera in zoology, and when by its means really first-rate, life-like pictures of any of our living forms are secured in natural attitudes, and with nature's surroundings, they should surely be published, and be made to take the place Of many of the highly incorrect figures Of our animals, still to be found in popular works upon natural history. Taxidermists and artists will then, I am sure, appreciate this feature in my book, for if anything be useful and helpful to them in their work it is good pictures of this class, used, as they safely can be, as models.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular History of Animals for Young People The object of this book is to give a short account of the Animal Kingdom in clear and simple language. The book being intended chiefly for young people, no formal classification has been given, and popular names have been used throughout. But the main divisions of the Animal Kingdom have been plainly indicated; and modern classification has been practically followed. The Author's aim has been to write in such fashion that the book may serve to waken, or quicken, interest in the observation of the habits of the lower animals, and as an introduction to the study of their.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Natural History: A Foundation of Useful Knowledge of the Higher Animals of North America The foregoing is for the eyes of adult readers. Argument is not necessary to con vince young people that a mighty host of interesting things awaits every one who sets foot in the field of Nature. To - day, the all-absorbing question is - how can Nature be made available to the young? This book is one of my two answers to that question; and it is particularly addressed to teachers and parents. It is intended to be a plain, practical, common - sense answer, presented in a systematic and scientific way. The author assumes that fifteen years of earnest thought, and conferences with scores of teachers on the subject of natural history teaching in American public schools, may fairly entitle him to a hearing.

Download or read book Popular Natural History Vol 1 written by J. S. Kingsley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Natural History, Vol. 1: A Description of Animal Life, From the Lowest Forms Up to Man IT has been the endeavor, in the preparation of these volumes, to present a popular account of Animal Life; but while scientific techni calities have been carefully kept in the background, it is hoped that scientific accuracy has not been sacrificed in the operation. To some there may appear an inequality in treatment. This, in part at least, has been intentional. Insects and Birds have already an enormous popular literature, while the other forms have been more or less neg lected. Believing that these other animals have their points Of interest and claims upon our attention, they have been given a prominence poissibly greater than they deserve. Another feature in these pages has been the collection of bits of unnatural history from the pages of the older writers. These have of course no place in our present science, but they belong to the history of zoology, and as such, have no small value, aside from their interest as scientific curiosities. It is hardly necessary to call attention to the fact that there is another Side to the animal kingdom which is fully as interesting and attractive as that presented here. In the last twenty years zoology has taken a new departure and a new lease of life. NO longer are zoologists content with watching the habits of well-known animals, and imposing long Latin names on those which are new. Museums are no longer necessary for the better class of work. To-day the student is trying to solve deeper problems. He is finding out how all animals grow from the egg to the adult condition; he is tracing resemblances, rather than difierences, and showmg the. Essential unity of all life, however great the apparent differences. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Natural History, Vol. 2: A Description of Animal Life From the Lowest Forms Up to Man Still, it must be admitted that snakes do exercise a fascination of another sort over human beings, for everywhere we find traces, more or less distinct, of serpent worship. In ancient Egypt the snake and the egg were prominent symbols; among our American Indians the snake held a mystic position, and even in the religion of the Jews it was not entirely ignored, but at times it appeared as an object of genuine worship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from System of Natural History: Containing Scientific and Popular Descriptions of Various Animals In the limited sense in which Natural History is thus to be under stood, as confined to the three great divisions of Animals, Vegetables, and Minerals, a System of Nature is a grand catalogue of the Objects in these kingdoms, in which each individual has a distinctive charac ter and an appropriate name. These individuals, for the sake of ar rangement, are collected into groups, which have something in com men, and which are termed Genera; genera are further combined into other groups, which form in systems what are called Orders; and or ders are finally arranged under one great head, which is termed a Class. This scale of divisions, of which the highest contains the least, is, as Baron Cuvier remarks, a kind of dictionary, where the properties of things are investigated to discover their names, and which reverses the usual order of such works, where the names are indicated 18 de tailing the qualities of the things named.
