Excerpt from Nature in Books: A Literary Introduction to Natural Science
The scientific facts are, at first, of less importance than the cultivation of that interest in the phenomena of Nature which all boys and girls should (and most do) feel, and the formation of a habit of intelligent and accurate observation - a habit which is, indeed, less easy to acquire than is commonly supposed, but which involves a discipline scarcely, if at all, inferior to a properly conducted study of the classics.
It is sometimes forgotten that around the study of the aspects and laws of Nature there is a literature which well deserves to be regarded as classical in the best sense of the word. Descriptions of Nature by writers like Shakespeare and Bacon, Wordsworth and Thomson, Izaak Walton and Gilbert White, again and again prove the fact; and their various testimonies to the abiding power in Nature to interest and elevate the mind have, therefore, been drawn upon in the preparation of the present work.
