Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures, Vol. 3: Delivered Before the Young Men´s Christian Association, 1847-8 In selecting a subject like that of the Natural History of Creation for the evening´s Lecture, I was induced to do so, not only on account of the interest which the subject itself might be supposed to possess, but also, without being professional, from its being somewhat in accordance with my own tastes and studies. I trust that I shall be able, in the course of the remarks I may make this evening, to draw your attention to the fact, that Natural History studies are those which, perhaps, of all others, are most calculated to relieve the leisure hours from business. I do not know any pursuit that so completely carries the mind out of itself, and relieves it so effectually of that tedium which is brought on by a close attention to business, especially in large commercial towns, as the study of Natural History. It was on these accounts that I preferred delivering a Lecture on this subject, though, perhaps, somewhat out of the ordinary way of the Lectures delivered in the course of which it forms the first. In throwing together a few remarks on the Natural History of Creation, I shall propose to myself two or three objects, to which I shall endeavour as much as possible to limit your attention.
