Excerpt from First Lessons in Zoology: Adapted for Use in Schools
The study of nature is the study of everything about us which we can perceive by our senses. Every object which we can see on the earth is either a mineral or a living body. Mineral bodies are not only stones, crystals, or sand, but they include the air, water, and gases. Minerals do not live; they are lifeless bodies, while plants and animals are living bodies. The study of natural history is the study of minerals and rocks, of plants and animals; or, in other words, of our earth and the minerals composing it, and of the plants and animals which have either once lived or are now living on its surface.
