Abridgment of the Contemplation of Nature
By Mr. Bonnet, of GENEVA
INTRODUCTION
I raise myself up to the Eternal Reason; I study his laws, and I adore him. I contemplate the universe with a philosophic eye. I search into the relations which by this immense chain constitute one whole. I stop a while to examine some links of it: struck with those marks of power, wisdom, and goodness, which I discover therein, I faintly attempt their description.
