Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Songs of Nature
A cold-blooded destruction and analysis of a plant or an animal tends to alienate the affection and reverence of the examiner for the object in hand and all its related family, even though his knowledge of its physical construction has been increased. Fully to understand the niche in creation it was designed to fill, to feel the warm glow of friendship its beauty inspires, to see within its birth and develop ment the purposes of its Creator, and to accept this child of the Great Father as a welcome brother, is the acme of satisfaction to intelligent man.
