392 ELEMENTS OF SCIENCE 



The object of this little book is to promote the 

 cultivation of such organised knowledge. Its aim has 

 been so to guide the student's first steps that, by a 

 simultaneous introduction to the various sciences, he 

 may come to apprehend the close connection and 

 reciprocal relations which exist between them all. The 

 author's hope is thus to stimulate desire for the pursuit 

 of every one of those sciences the due cultivation of 

 which is of such supreme importance to the welfare 

 of mankind.
