"The aspect of external nature, as it presents itself in its generality to thoughtful contemplatiou, 

 is that of unity in diversity, and of connection, resemblance, and order, among created things most 

 dissimilar in their form — one fair liarmonious whole. To seize this unity and this harmony, amid 

 such an assemblage of objects and forces, — to embrace alike the discoveries of the earliest ages and 

 those of our own time, — and to analyze the details of phseuomena without sinking under their mass, 

 are efforts of human reason in the path wherein it is given to man to press towards the full com- 

 prehension of nature, (o unveil a portion of her secrets, and, by force of thought, to subject, so to 

 speak, to his intellectual dominion, the rough materials which he collects by observation.'' 



Alexander Von Humboldt.
