Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Beauties and Wonders of Nature and Science: A Collection of Curious, Interesting and Valuable Information, for the Instruction and Improvement of the Enquiring Mind
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Hamlet.
The Editor of the following pages has culled a few of Nature 8 gems, but claims only the string that binds them from the unbounded mine of Creation's wonders, he has selected a few of the most prominent, as affording only a sample of infinite wisdom and goodness; to mention all, would require a library. As a fitting accompaniment, he has added some of the brightest conceptions of man's vast ingenuity, which he has endeavoured to describe, faintly, but truly.
