Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Earth and Animated Nature, Vol. 2 All birds are covered with feathers, and they are the only animals which, properly speaking, are so. These feathers are of two sorts - feathers for clothing, to protect the animal from the vicissitudes of the weather, and feathers for ight. Both of these are beautifully modified, so as to suit the different habits of the several species, and adapt them to the climates and the ele ments in which they find their food.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Earth, and Animated Nature, Vol. 2 of 6 As man, in all the privileges he enjoys, and the powers he is invested with, has a superiority over all other animals, so in his necessities he seems inferior to the meanest of them all. Nature has brought him into life with a greater variety of wants and infirmities than the rest of her creatures, unarmed in the midst of enemies. The lion has natural arms, the bear natural clothing; but man is destitute of all such advantages, and, from the superiority of his mind alone, he is to supply the deficiency. The number of his wants, however, were merely given in order to multiply the number of his enjoyments; since the possibility of being deprived of any good, teaches him the value of its possession.
