HOW TO OBsERvE-The habit of observation
is the habit of clear and decisive gazing, not by
first casual glance, but by a steady deliberate
aim OF the eye, at the rare and characteristic
Things discovered. You must look intently
and hold your eye firmly to the spot TO sea
more than do the rank and file OF mankind.
The sharpshOOter picks out his man ana knows

well to locate not only form, co,Or weight.
ETC., in the region of the eye, but a faculty
which They call indiyiduality-that which sep
arates. diScriminates, and sees i'm every object
its essential character. This is Just as neces-
SaTy to The naturalist as TO the artist or the
poet. The sharp eye notes specific points and
differenceS-it seiZes upon and preserves the
individuality OF the thing.-[John Burroughs
