OBSERVATIONS 



IN 



NATURAL HISTORY. 



The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that 

 have pleasure therein. 



Ps. cxi, 2. 



Birds and Beasts, 



And the mute Fish that glances in the stream, 

 And harmless Reptile coiling in the sun, 

 And gorgeous Insect hovering in the air, 

 The Fowl domestic, and the household Dog, 



In his capacious mind he loved them all.
