Excerpt from Scientific Literary Treasury Some are labouring, with well-directed zeal, to establish literary and scientific institutions others are cheerfully becoming the. Indefatigable instructors of imperfectly educated adults; and many, with an ardour and earnestness of purpose in the highest degree creditable to them as men of science and as citi zens of the world, are unfolding the treasures of their well-stored minds to delighted audiences in the lecture-room.

Excerpt from The Scientific and Literary Treasury: A New and Popular Encyclopedia of the Belles Lettres It may, at first sight, appear that a great disparity exists between the length of the difi'erent articles. It must be remembered, however, that many are merely definitions of technical terms, which could be better and more clearly expressed in a brief sentence or two, than in half a column. The magnitude or intricacy of others demanded a comparatively long discussion; and there are not a few which, either from their novelty or their present popularity, would be considered as too slightly noticed, if the same process of conden sation had been used in regard to them, as was applied to others, of equal importance perhaps, but more generally known, or better understood.

Excerpt from The Golden Treasury: Of the History, Topography, Literature, Science, Art, and Religion of the Various of Their Illustrious People In America, especially, to which men flock from all parts of the world as to an asylum for the oppressed, no man can afford to be ignorant of the history and conditions of other lands. The uninformed man cannot take a proper position in an intelligent community; he feels afraid to express himself, and is humiliated and rendered unhappy by a sense of his inferiority.

Download Classics of Modern Science (Copernicus to Pasteur) (Classic Reprint) Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Excerpt from Classics of Modern Science (Copernicus to Pasteur) These movements of science have produced a Copious literature which has not enjoyed the same attention and reading as imaginative books, because, once the ideas are known and incorporated into the existing body of scientific knowledge, these scientific writings tend to acquire chiefly an historical interest. Yet they are monuments of the advance of civilization, and deserve a better fate. Many of them are still interesting to read as human documents because they illustrate how painfully and slowly man's exact knowledge of verifiable pheno mena has been accumulated. No one outside of the small company of highly trained scientists can read all of them through, yet most of them have sections which are as readable and as exciting as any mod ern novel. It is the purpose of this book to present to the young col lege student and to the general reader some of the more representative of these classics in the literature of science, bringing together in this convenient form at least some reminders of a vast field of reading where one may browse for a lifetime with interest and profit. If it be used in conjunction with a history of science it will readily supply a vivid sense of the movement of the mind of western civilization, in creasing in us a respect for the effort of our ancestors, and inspire us to encourage and to forward the work of contemporary scientists, and restrain us at least from hindering them in their efforts.

Excerpt from Excelsior, Vol. 4: Helps to Progress in Religion, Science, and Literature Having got this elementary notion of the succession and position of the aqueous, or sedimentary, or stratified rocks, we will be content for the present with pointing out, in an equally rough way, the ordinary position and relations of the igneous or unstratified rocks. These are commonly found to have burst through, and intruded into the aqueous rocks in several ways. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Story-Book of Science Of the increasing success and widening popularity of the elementary science series written chiefly in the seclusion of Serignan by the gifted French naturalist who was destined to give that obscure hamlet a distinction hardly inferior to the renown enjoyed by Maillane since the days of Mistral, it is unnecessary at this late date to say more than a word in passing. The extraordinary vividness and animation of his style amply justified his early belief in the possibility of making the truths of science more fascinating to young readers, and to all readers, than the fabrications of fiction. As Dr. Legros has said in his biography of Fabre, "He was indeed convinced that even in early childhood it was possible for both boys and girls to learn and to love many subjects which had hitherto never been proposed; and in particular that Natural History which to him was a book in which all the world might read, but that university methods had reduced to a tedious and useless study in which the letter 'killed the life.'" The young in heart and the pure in heart of whatever age will find themselves drawn to this incomparable story-teller, this reverent revealer of the awe-inspiring secrets of nature, this "Homer of the insects."
