Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of British Butterflies An instinctive general love of nature, that is, in other words, of the works of God, has been implanted by Him, the Great Architect of the universe - the Great Parent of all - in the mind of every man. There is no one, whether old or young, or of whatever circumstances or rank in life, who can look without any feeling or emotion on the handiworks of Creation which surround him - who can behold a rich sunset, a storm, the sea, a tree, a mountain, a river, a rainbow, a flower, without some degree of admiration, and some measure of thought. He may, indeed, for the time, or for a moment, he engrossed by some worldly care, or some other subject - dome remembrance of the past, or anticipatian of the future; but this cannot always be the case, and whenever the mind is relieved from that overpowering feeling, the spontaneous thoughts which originate in the love of nature will be sure to arise in his soul.
