Sinopsis
Excerpt from Introduction to the Science, Vol. 1
1. IN whatever place we first become aware that we are livin beings, the scene which we survey is limited to a very sma part of the' whole system of Nature - that is, of what exists. F we look beyond the house in which we live, we probably see other houses, fields, hills, plains, or a part of the sea. If we look upward, a more extensive view is presented; we there behold the clear blue sky, where the sun shines by day, and the moon and stars by night. But even these large plains, and that wide sky, are only a part, and a very small part, of what exists. Far beyond the hills which bound our new, there are other plains and hills; and far beyond the stars which we see by night there are other stars without number. 2. Vs young person has some notion of the distance called a mile. I he were to walk a few miles from the place where he lives, he would come to other places quite stran e to him; and if he were to walk many more miles, he woul still come to new places. The parish in which he lives is only a few miles in extent; but this parish is but a I? Of a county, which is again of a state or kingdom. He state is probably many reds of miles long, and some hundreds broad, and it con tains so many people, that it is not easy for a child to understand their number. But, after all, a state is only a small part of the surface of the earth.

Excerpt from Introduction to the Science, Vol. 1
The present volume, while calculated also for private and self-instruction, is chiefly designed to occupy that part of the attention of young persons at school, which has hitherto been devoted to the earliest of the usual series of Collections. Not less intelligible than the simplest of that class of school-books, it possesses the advantage of a definite and most important object, inasmuch as it presents a connected and systematic view of Nature. The sciences treated of are Astronomy - Natural Philosophy - Geology and Physical Geography - Meteorology - Electricity and Magnetism - Chemistry - Botany - Zoology - Human Physiology - and Mental Philosophy, upon each of which a series of questions is given at the end of the work. The amount of information on each is necessarily not great; but it has been the ambition of the writer that the information given should not be a superficial view of a few unconnected phenomena, but a chain of principles, calculated, in combination, to impress a distinct and comprehensive idea, and to make it possible that even those who leave school at the early age of ten, shall not go into the world without some knowledge of the parts of which it is composed, and the laws by which it is regulated. For the completion of a right elementary education, it is of course deemed necessary by the Editors, that each of the sciences here treated, besides several others, be studied separately, at least to the extent in which they are treated in the respective volumes of Chambers's Educational Course.
