Excerpt from Fabre, Poet of Science
In undertaking this task my devoted disciple has to some extent been able to replace those Memoirs which he suggested that I should write, and which only my bad health has prevented me from undertaking; for I feel that henceforth I am done with wide horizons and far-reaching thoughts.
And yet on reading now the old letters which he has exhumed from a mass of old yellow papers, and which! He has presented and co ordinated with so pious a care, it seems to me that in the depths of my being I can'. Still feel rising in me all the fever of my early years, all the enthusiasm of long ago, and that I should still be no less ardent a worker were not the weakness of my eyes and the failure of my strength to-day an insurmountable obstacle.

Collegw Library. QH PREFACE THE good friend who has so successfully terminated the task which he felt a vocation t Qundertake thought it would be of advantage to vcomplete it by presenting to the reader a picture vboth of my life as a whole and of the work which it has been given me to accomplish. The better to accomplish his undertaking, he A .abstracted from my correspondence, as well as from the long conversations which we have so often enjoyed together, a great number of those memories of varying importance which serve as tlandmarks in life; above all in a life like mine, not exempt from many cares, yet not very fruitful in incidents or great vicissitudes, since it has been passed very largely, in especial during the last thirty years, in the most absolute retirement and the completest silence.
