Introduction to the Study of Nature : Illustrative of the Attributes of the Almighty, As Displayed in the Creation (Classic Reprint) by J. Stevenson Bushnan (2015, Trade Paperback)
Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Nature: Illustrative of the Attributes of the Almighty, as Displayed in the Creation The unspeakable importance of the study of Nature, when properly directed, and the almost unlimited extent of the phenomena which it embraces, as well as of the enquiries to which these phenomena give rise, and of the illustra tions by which they are explained, seem to ren der any apology for the publication of the follow ing pages altogether unnecessary. It is true that the Author only follows in the track of others; but it will scarcely be alleged, that a field so wide is already preoccupied, or that the number of labourers is too great. He assumes not the character of a rival, desirous to supplant; but of an humble coadjutor, willing to lend his feeble efforts to so good a cause, happy if he shall, in any degree, contribute to kindle or to foster, in the ingenuous mind, a de sire to become better acquainted with the won ders of creation; and, in these wonders, to read more clearly the perfections of the great Creator.
