*¢QOmnes res create sunt divine sapientie et potentie testes, divitie felicitatis 
humane :—ex harum usu bonitas Creatoris; ex pulchritudine sapientia Domini; 
ex economia in conservatione, proportione, renovatione, potentia majestatis elucet. 
Earum itaque indagatio ab hominibus sibi relictis semper estimata; a veré eruditis 
et sapientibus semper exculta; malé doctis et barbaris semper inimica fuit.”— 
LINNZUS. 
“ Quel que soit le principe de la vie animale, il ne faut qu’ouvrir les yeux pour voir 
qu'elle est le chef-d’ceuvre de la Toute-puissance, et le but auquel se rapportent 
toutes ses opérations.” Bruckner, Théorie du Systeme Animal, Leyden, 1767. 
bile, Pablo seen. woe) pLhe sylvan powers 
Obey our summons ; from their deepest dells 
The Dryads come, and throw their garlands wild 
And odorous branches at our feet ; the Nymphs 
That press with nimble step the mountain thyme 
And purple heath-flower come not empty-handed, 
But scatter round ten thousand forms minute 
Of velvet moss or lichen, torn from rock 
Or rifted oak or cavern deep: the Naiads too 
Quit their loved native stream, from whose smooth face 
They crop the lily, and each sedge and rush 
That drinks the rippling tide: the frozen poles, 
Where peril-waits the bold adventurer’s tread, 
The burning sands of Borneo and Cayenne, 
All, all to us unlock their secret stores 
And pay their cheerful tribute. 
J. Tayitor, Norwich, 1818.
