Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Introduction to Algology: With a Catalogue of American Algæ, or Sea-Weeds, According to the Latest Classification of Prof. Harvey
IN selecting this branch of Natural History as the theme for this little treatise, i am not actuated by the belief that it is of more importance, or that its study is more fascinating and calculated to elicit a livelier interest, than any other; for] am impressed that every branch of Natural History is equally important, equaliy interesting; and that every thing appertaining to the book of natme possesses within itself a fascinating power, which, when under stood, cannot fdll to awaken the purest admiration in the human mind - buti am induced to take this subject as a page in God's book hitherto overlooked and neglected in this country - a page which, I.know, -requires onlv to be opened to be duly appreciated by those who can look in nature, and there see nature's God.
