Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies of Nature, 1808, Vol. 1 of 3: With the Addition of Numerous Original Notes and Illustrations
This success ought undoubtedly to have Satisfied me but I am no less so with the honourable professions of friendship which have been tendered to me, by persons of all conditions, and of both sexes, most of whom are unknown to me. Some distinguished me by their visits and others by epistolary ad dresses the most affecting, conveying their thanks for my Book, as if, in giving it to the Public, I had conferred a personal obli gation on themselves. Several of them have invited me to take up my residence at their country seats, and to enjoy those rural scenes, of which, as they are pleased to say, I am so passion ately fond. Yes, undoubtedly, I should dearly love a country residence, but a residence which I could call my own, and not another man's.
