CONCLUSION. 185 



are already lovers of Nature, but on those who 

 are seeking for amusement and occupation. I 

 can promise with some confidence that they will 

 at all events not meet with disappointment, and 

 will with more probability discover that a never- 

 failing source of delight and interest has been 

 opened to them, a new and almost unknown 

 region, peopled with minute beings whose beauty 

 cannot be surpassed or described ; 



Where, even in a water drop, 

 These wondrous creatures revel, filling up 

 The seeming void of nature ; even as planets, 

 By the naked eye unseen, perfect 

 The glorious firmament.
