ΤΟ

A YOUNG NATURALIST

ON

THE STUDY OF NATURE AND
NATURAL THEOLOGY.

BY JAMES L. DRUMMOND, M.D.

PROFESSOR OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY IN
THE BELFAST ACADEMICAL INSTITUTION;

PRESIDENT OF THE BELFAST NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY;
HONORARY MEMBER OF THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY OF
NORTHUMBERLAND, DURHAM, AND NEWCASTLE,

&c. &c.

"Could mankind be prevailed upon to read a few lessons from the great
book of Nature, so amply spread out before them, they would clearly see
the hand of Providence in every page; and would they consider the
faculty of reason as the distinguishing gift to the human race, and use it
as the guide of their lives, they would find their reward in a cheerful
resignation of mind, in peace and happiness, under the conscious per-
suasion, that a good naturalist cannot be a bad man."
