264 CONCLUSION. 



most all the large animals from the cultivated lands; 

 and the colony of the Cape is another, where the 

 herds of antelopes are so fast receding. The re- 

 gistration of a single fact, the putting down of a 

 memorandum of the habits of an animal, or a single 

 measurement, is often thrown aside as insignificant, 

 or it is not made at all (after it has been resolved up- 

 on), as being only one ; but it may be of very great 

 importance, and may solve some intricate question. 

 A commencement will often carry with it a conti- 

 nuance, and one examination by its interest will be- 

 get another ; while, in addition, it may be borne in 

 mind, that their endeavours will increase our know- 

 ledge of the works of Him by whose power and 

 goodness " all things ivere made, and without whom 

 was not any thing made that was made."
