“Happy, truly, is the naturalist. He has no time for melancholy dreams. 
The earth becomes to him transparent; everywhere he sees significancies, 
harmonies, laws, chains of cause and effect endlessly interlinked, which draw 
him out of the narrow sphere of self-interest and self-pleasing, into a pwe 
and wholesome region of solemn joy and wonder.”—CuarLes KinesLey in 
‘ Glaucus.’ 
“The perfect naturalist should have in him the very essence of ‘rie 
chivalry, self-devotion ; the desire to advance not himself and his own fi | e 
or wealth, but knowledge and mankind..... The spirit which gives fre \;, 
because it knows that it has received freely ; which communicates knowle | ;e 
without hope of reward, without jealousy and mean rivalry, to fellow-stud: : ts 
and to the world.”—CuaRrLEs KINGSLEY. 
‘‘ And this our life, exempt from public haunt, 
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, 
Sermons in stones, and good in everything.” 
‘As You Like It,’ Act ii., Scene 1.
