Description
Excerpt from Charles Darwin: His Life and Work
I have asked my readers to follow with me the footsteps of the naturalist from school-days in Eng land to foreign shores, seeking to interest them in the pursuits which he loved and to enable them to observe the things which he saw, believing that in this way the remarkable traits of the man as an observer and thinker can be best and most forcibly shown. I have had an object beyond that of simply telling his story, and one which I believe would com mend itself to the great investigator were he living it is, by tracing and following his work and investiga tions, to encourage young men and women to emu late his methods, become students in the great field of nature, and enjoy the delights of actual contact with the world of which he was an active worker. That such a career is ennobling I trust the following pages will demonstrate.
