m they live and move
and have their being
not by bread alonebut by EVERY word that
proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
Thus I wrote some twenty years agowhen the study of Natural
History was confined mainly to several scientific menor mere
collectors of shellsinsectsand dried plants.
Since thenI am glad to sayit has become a popular and common
pursuitowingI doubt notto the impulse given to it by the many
authors whose works I then recommended. I recommend them still;
though a swarm of other manuals and popular works have appeared
sinceexcellent in their wayand almost beyond counting. But all
honour to thoseand above all to Mr. Gosse and Mr. Johnswho first
opened people's eyes to the wonders around them all day long. Now
we havein addition to amusing books on special subjectsserials on
Natural History more or less profoundand suited to every kind of
student and every grade of knowledge. I mention the names of none.
For firstthey happily need no advertisement from me; and nextI fear to
be unjust to any one of them by inadvertently omitting its name. Let
me addthat in the advertising columns of those serialswill be found
notices of all the new manualsand of all apparatusand [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]yilai:
