Excerpt from Thoughts on Animalcules: Or, a Glimpse of the Invisible World Revealed by the Microscope

Excerpt from Thoughts on Animalcules: Or, a Glimpse of the Invisible World Revealed by the Microscope
"To the Natural Philosopher there is no natural object that is unimportant or trifling : from the least of Nature's works he may learn the greatest lessons."
"The likeliest method of discovering Truth is by the observations and experiments of many upon the same subject: and the most probable way of engaging people in such investigations, is by rendering such observations and experiments easy, attractive, and intelligible."
