Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 1: Published in May,& July, 1836 Art. I. - 1. The Book of the Seasons, or the Calendar of Nature. By William Howitt. 12mo. Fourth edition. London, 1836. 2. Gleanings hi Natural History. Third and last series. To which are added, Notices of some of the Royal Parks and Residences. By Edward Jesse, Esq., Surveyor of his Majesty´s Parks, Palaces, &c. 8vo. London, 1835. 3. The Journal of a Naturalist. Third edition, 8vo. London, 1833. The works, whose titles we have just transcribed, are but a few specimens of the numerous publications connected with natural history, which have been recently produced in this country. It is with no slight degree of gratification we observe, that every new volume of this class of literature which makes its appearance, is framed with a view to dispense as much as possible with the formalities of science, and to disclose what had hitherto been its mysteries, in a form at once intelligible and attractive to every order of readers. Far be it from us to deny that abstract science has its uses, and those too, of the highest value; we are well aware, that without the deductive researches which it has enabled philosophers to make, and the arrangements which it has taught them to invent, all knowledge would be little better than a chaos of facts, capable, indeed, of being sometimes practically turned to account, but destitute of those combinations which lead the mind to an acquaintance with the laws that operate in every department of the universe. At the same time, we think that, when science has succeeded in developing the character and extent of those laws, it becomes a matter of great importance to translate its lofty investigations into language calculated to familiarize them to the multitude. The complex and refined studies, in which highly accomplished intellects take the greatest delight, can never, even in the best educated nations, be pursued by any considerable portion of the community.
