Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Harmonies of Nature: Or the Unity of Creation
Harmony is the universal law of Nature. Of all the number less forms of animals and plants that deck the surface of the globe, there is not one that is not perfectly fitted for its peculiar sphere. The configuration of our earth, and the physical laws that govern the waters and the atmosphere, are in complete unison with the wants of organic life; and suns and planets wander harmoniously through illimitable space. And as it now is, thus it ever has been; for the annals of our globe bear witness, throughout all the changes of the primeval world, to the concord which has constantly reigned between the physical condition of the earth and its inhabitants at each successive epoch.
In the. Following pages I have endeavoured to point out some of the most striking examples of this fundamental truth, which so forcibly proclaims the unity of creation. May I have ac quitted myself of my task so as to strengthen my readers in the conviction that an all-wise and All-powerful Legislator has constantly presided over the destinies of the universe!
