WAX AND COMB CONSTRUCTION 
And now we cannot do better than conclude by 
quoting the words of Lord Brougham, who says : 
‘We are raised by science to an understanding of the 
infinite wisdom and goodness which the Creator has 
displayed in all His works. Not a step can we take in 
any direction without perceiving the most extraordinary 
traces of design ; and the skill everywhere conspicuous is 
calculated in so vast a proportion of instances to promote 
the happiness of living creatures, and especially ourselves, 
that we feel no hesitation in concluding that if we knew 
the whole scheme of Providence, every part would appear 
to be in harmony with a plan of absolute benevolence. 
Independently, however, of this most consoling inference, 
the delight is inexpressible of being able to follow the 
marvellous works of the Great Author of Nature, and to 
trace the unbounded power and exquisite skill which are 
exhibited by the most minute as well as the mightiest 
parts of His system.’
