Whenever a child is old enough to ask questions as: ""What makes the thunder?"" or ""Where does the rain come from?"" or ""Why are the clouds so pretty?"" is old enough to begin the study of natural philosophy and God.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
