I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who wrote a successful natural history textbook for children titled The Easy Introduction to the Knowledge of Nature (1782)?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The first significant work that expressed scientific theory and knowledge expressly for the laity, in the vernacular, and with the entertainment of readers in mind, was Bernard de Fontenelle's Conversations on the Plurality of Worlds (1686).". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
