Riassunto

Excerpt from Popular Illustrations of the Lower Forms of Life: Comprising the Protophyton; The Protozoon; Teh Cœlenterata

The following pages were published in a series of articles in the Field newspaper, with the object of making the study of Natural History more intelligible to the general public than a more rigid adherence to scientific systematic writing would have done. While endeavouring, however, to popularise the subject, I have taken especial care not to degrade it by sacrificing truth to what may be called sensational science. My object has been rather to prepare the mind for deeper delving in the rich mines than to make it content with any glittering specimen it may meet with on the surface. The subject is therefore necessarily incomplete, even as to a thorough examination of the three great divisions of Nature with which I have dealt. But I have endeavoured to bring out all their salient points, and have, I trust, succeeded in making them clear and intelligible. While expressing my Opinion with perfect freedom and independence, I have avoided controversy as much as possible. There are many means Open to the student in which he may study with advantage the two great lines of thought by which the primary or secondary character of species are advocated.
