Excerpt from The Study of Animal Life
This book is intended to help those who would study animal life. From different points of view I have made a series of sketches. I hope that when these are united in the mind of the reader, the picture will have some truth and beauty.
My chief desire has been to give the student some impulse to joyousness of observation and freedom Of judgment, rather than to satisfy that thirst for knowledge which leads many to intellectual insobriety. In pursu ance of one of the aims of this series, I have also tried to show how our knowledge of animal life has grown, and how much room there is for it still to grow.
