Inhaltsangabe
We live in and form part of a system of things of immense diversity and perplexity, which we call Nature; and it is a matter of the deepest interest to all of us that we should form just conceptions of the constitution of that system and of its past history. With relation to this universe, man is, in extent, little more than a mathematical point; in duration but a fleeting shadow; he is a mere reed shaken in the winds of force. But as Pascal long ago remarked, although a mere reed, he is a thinking reed; and in virtue of that wonderful capacity of thought, he has the power of framing for himself a symbolic conception of the universe, which, although doubtless highly imperfect and inadequate as a picture of the great whole, is yet sufficient to serve him as a chart for the guidance of his practical affairs. It has taken long ages of toilsome and often fruitless labour to enable man to look steadily at the shifting scenes of the phantasmagoria of Nature, to notice what is fixed among her fluctuations, and what is regular among her apparent irregularities; and it is only comparatively lately, within the last few centuries, that the conception of a universal order and of a definite course of things, which we term the course of Nature, has emerged.

With relationto this universe, man is, in extent, little more than a mathematicalpoint; in duration but a fleeting shadow; he is a mere reed shakenin the winds of force. But as Pascal long ago remarked, although amere reed, he is a thinking reed; and in virtue of that wonderfulcapacity of thought, he has the power of framing for himself asymbolic conception of the universe, which, although doubtlesshighly imperfect and inadequate as a picture of the great whole, isyet sufficient to serve him as a chart for the guidance of hispractical affairs.
