Excerpt from The British Naturalist, or Sketches of the More Interesting Productions of Britain and the Surrounding Sea, in the Scenes Which They Inhabit, Vol. 1: And With Relation to the General Economy of Nature, and the Wisdom and Power of Its Author Over the whole of this extensive, fair, and varied creation, dominion was, by its Almighty and All-bonus tiful Creator, given to man. When our first parents were formed, and ere yet Eden had been prepared for theirabode, God blessed them, and said, 'replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree upon which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed.' Thus the commandment is ample, and it is circumstantial. There is the dominion to man, as a rational and an intelligent creature - the study and knowledge, as an exercise and improvement of the mind; and the use, for the support and comfort of the body, as the proper consequence and reward of the study and knowledge. It is this knowledge of the productions of nature, their habits, and the laws of their being, which, in the emphatic language of Lord Bacon, Is power; and, abundant as are the works, possessions, and comforts, of civilized man - extensive as is his learning, numer ous as are his arts and his sciences, and disposed as he too often is to neglect nature for art, or even for indo lence, the study of the nature and properties of those Objects and substances around him, in the production of which he had originally no concern, is the source and fountain of them.all.

Excerpt from British Naturalist, Vol. 2: Or, Sketches of the More Interesting Productions of Britain and the Surrounding Sea, in the Scenes Which They Inhabit; And With Relation to the General Economy of Nature, and the Wisdom and Power of Its Author; The Year Spring, Summer The favourable reception of the first volume of "British Naturalist," has convinced the author that the plan, which he has attempted, of representing the works of creation in their natural groupes, is far from the least interesting; and it is certainly the best and, perhaps, the only way of making the pages of a written book have some resemblance to those of the book of nature, and thus rendering the transition from the closet to the field, a transition in degree only, and not one in kind, as it necessarily is when the plant or the animal, of which the written account has been studied, is found surrounded with other subjects, all of which are unknown, and, as novelties, really have the most attraction.
