He will soon have the satisfaction to see his fields gradually covering with a beautiful verdure, and giving the promise of a plentiful harvest- Nature at first, indeed, works in secret, while the seed is opening; but its operations may be discovered by taking some of the grains out of the ground when they are beginning...
الصفحة 158 - Let us, then, examine into thisphenomenon, because it is in itself very remarkable, and furnishes us with a new occasion to glorify our great Creator. The eclipse of the sun is an effect entirely natural; it is caused by the moon passing between the earth and the sun.

الصفحة 45 - While it is shameful for man to be inattentive to the wonders which surround him, what can be more pleasing and congenial to a rational and devout mind than contemplations on the works of the Most High? "What can be more gratifying...
الصفحة 297 - He who delights to contemplate the works of God, will not only discover His hand in those immense globes which compose the system of the universe, but also in the little worlds of insects, plants, and metals. He will search for, and adore the wisdom of God, as well in the spider's web, as in the power of gravitation, which attracts the earth towards the sun. These researches are at present the easier, as microscopes have discovered to us new scenes and new worlds, in which we behold, in miniature,...
الصفحة 298 - ... even viewed through the microscope, they appear scarcely so large as a grain of barley ; and yet they are real animals, with durable dwelling-places, the foldings and recesses of which form so many different apartments.

Although this animal is scarcely...
