Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pleasures of Contemplation: Being a Desultory Investigation of the Harmonies, Beauties, and Benefits of Nature
There is a regular gradation, inconceivable beauty and infinite beneficence observable between the smallest ani malcula and the largest animal on earth. The different species and genera of insects, as well as animals, are certainly innumerable yet every one collectively, or ih dividually, whether local or itinerant are plentifully supplied by nature, with the aliament most suitable for them, and they are all as blessed as they can be. To every species of animal, from miniature to magnitude, there is a species of plant or insect, which serve them for food plentifully provided by nature. Here it will be objected by those who wish to find fault with Providence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
