Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cosmos, Vol. 1: Ensayo de una Descripcion Fisica del Mundo
Grandes dificultades presenta la composicion de una obra semejante, si ha de reunir al valor cient�fico, el m�rito de la forma literaria. Tra tase de llevar el �rden y la luz a la riqueza in mensa de materiales que se ofrecen al pensa miento, sin despojar a los cuadros de la natura leza del soplo que los anima; porque si nos limi taramos a esponer resultados generales, incurr� r�amos en una gran aridez y monoton�a, pareci da a la que resultar�a de enumerar multitud de hechos particulares. No me atrevo a lisonjearmo de haber satisfecho condiciones tan dif�ciles de llenar, y evitado escollos cuya existencia �nica mente puedo yo se�alar.
