NATURAL HISTORY.

| have long felt and expressed my aston
ishment that courses of Natural History
have not been More generally introduced
into places of education. The particular
facts which compose Il, are the elements
Of all Cur knowledge. They always please
or agitate the mind; they would, I am per-
suaded, excite the lively attention Of both
sexes to the greatest advantage, and form
such habits of thinking and reading, as
would preserve the more advanced from
Iistless Incidence and debasing sehssality.
BY Natural History mean knowl'
edge of whatever conposes the universe;
as the heavens, the meteors, the atmosa
phete, the earth, and all the phenomena
which happen in the world. One of the
most Important branches OF this science is
man, because an acquaintance with his
frame and character, Is most intimately con-
nected with human happiness.
The object of Natural History is as ex-
tensive as nature itself, since las you must
have seen) it comprehends not only the sub
stances which compose the earth, but also
al the organized bodies which inhabit it,
every living being that moves on the face OF
the earth, those that fly in the expanded
Armament, and such as have their habita-
ton in the bosom of the ocean. tits to
this subject that the attention OF man has
been particularly called within these last
fifty years. It's utility is now more gene
rally known; the relations Of various beings
are more accurately developed, and promise
to unfold to future generations such view
of the unbounded goodness OF the cause o.
all causes as will infallibly difdse splri
Of generosity, Of gratitadei Of philanthropy
and of cheerfulness through every bfahcl
OF the great family OF mankind.
In subject Of such Vast extent, a sci
ence which undertakes to develope all til,
riches of nature, how, say you, is the limi
