"When Darwin returned to Britain from the Beagle voyage in 1836, the most talked-about scientific books were the Bridgewater Treatises. This series of eight books was funded by a bequest of the last Earl of Bridgewater, and they were authored by leading men of science, appointed by the President of the Royal Society, and intended to explore "the power, wisdom, and goodness of God, as manifested in the creation." Securing public attention beyond all expectations, the series gave Darwin's generation a range of approaches to one of the great questions of the age: how to incorporate the newly emerging disciplinary sciences into Britain's overwhelmingly Christian culture. Drawing on a wealth of archival and published sources, including many unexplored by historians, Jonathan R. Topham examines how and to what extent the series contributed to a sense of congruence between Christianity and the sciences in the generation before the infamous Victorian "conflict between science and religion." He does so by drawing on the distinctive insights of book history, using close attention to the production, circulation, and use of the books to open up new perspectives not only on aspects of early Victorian science but also on the whole subject of science and religion. Its innovative focus on practices of authorship, publishing, and reading helps us to understand the everyday considerations and activities through which the religious culture of early Victorian science was fashioned. And in doing so, Reading the Book of Nature powerfully reimagines the world in which a young Charles Darwin learned how to think about the implications of his theory"--

The conviction that Nature was God's second revelation played a crucial role in early modern Dutch culture. This book offers a fascinating account on how Dutch intellectuals contemplated, investigated, represented and collected natural objects, and how the notion of the 'Book of Nature' was transformed.

Excerpt from Outdoor Studies a Reading Book of Nature Study The years that intervene between the primary and the high school, for all of which nature study is now prescribed, cover a very wide period of mental development. For the earlier years of that period there is now no lack of books, offering object lessons, guides to random observations, stories of common things interweaving facts with interesting fancies to the edifying of imaginative childhood. This little book is intended to supply for the later years of that period a few lessons of greater continuity, calling for more persistence of observation, and introducing a few of the simpler of our modern conceptions of nature at large. These lessons presuppose some years of experience of life and some previous training in observation. They are not given as stories, nor for the sake of language lessons primarily, but for the sake of the interest and educative value of the facts and phenomena of nature which they set forth. In writing them I have had in mind the boys and girls more than the teachers. I have written of things I would have the pupils see and do and think about, and I trust no teacher will undertake to do all the seeing and doing and thinking for them. I hope the suggestions for field study will be found so simple and explicit that pupils may follow them individually and at home whenever desirable. Not the least of my objects has been to pave the way for more intelligent and profitable text-book work in the high school, and I am well assured that that work will be better done for the insight gained from studies such as these. Wherever a plant or animal is discussed in the following pages a number is inserted in the text, referring to a corresponding number in a list of scientific names, which has been relegated to the end of the book lest the big names frighten any one.

From the Author's PREFACE. THE years that intervene between the primary and the high school, for all of which nature study is now prescribed, cover a very wide period of mental development. For the earlier years of that period there is now no lack of books, offering object lessons, guides to random observations, stories of common things interweaving facts with interesting fancies to the edifying of imaginative childhood. This little book is intended to supply for the later years of that period a few lessons of greater continuity, calling for more persistence of observation, and introducing a few of the simpler of our modern conceptions of nature at large. These lessons presuppose some years of experience of life and some previous training in observation. They are not given as stories, nor for the sake of language lessons primarily, but for the sake of the interest and educative value of the facts and phenomena of nature which they set forth. In writing them I have had in mind the boys and girls more than the teachers. I have written of things I would have the pupils see and do and think about, and I trust no teacher will undertake to do all the seeing and doing and thinking for them. I hope the suggestions for field study will be found so simple and explicit that pupils may follow them individually and at home whenever desirable. Not the least of my objects has been to pave the way for more intelligent and profitable text-book work in the high school, and I am well assured that that work will be better done for the insight gained from studies such as these. Wherever a plant or animal is discussed in the following pages a number is inserted in the text, referring to a corresponding number in a list of scientific names, which has been relegated to the end of the book lest the big names frighten any one. These names will at least help teachers to use the indexes of whatever scientific literature may be available for reference. To Mr. A. D. MacGillivray I am indebted for determining the names of a number of insects. Mrs. J. H. Comstock and Miss Anna A. Schryver have helped me with valuable suggestions as to the subject matter. I have, as ever, to acknowledge the assistance of my wife, Anna Taylor Needham, in the preparation of the drawings. A number of insects are figured for the first time and all the cuts are new. This little book, simple and elementary as it is, represents an amount of labor that is only justified by my faith in the future of nature studies and in the educating and refining influence they are yet to exert both in school and out.

Excerpt from Real Things in Nature: A Reading Book of Science for American Boys and Girls The children who read this book ought to know before they read it what use it is going to be to them. Let us see. The book is owned by an American school boy (or school girl) who was born ten or twelve years ago and who expects to live in this world fifty or sixty years more. Fifty years is a very long time - think of all the things that have happened in the last fifty years - and then think forward what may happen in the next fifty years - things that may happen in the world, in this our country, or to you.
