Book Description
Excerpt from Natural History With Anecdotes: Illustrating the Nature, Habits, Manners and Customs of Animals, Birds, Fishes, Reptiles, Insects, Etc Illustrations are like windows to the house of knowledge. They let light in upon the understanding and they facilitate the outlook upon truth and beauty. To illustrate is to help one sense by the use of another, to reason by analogy and to teach the unknown by the known. When definition fails, illustration often carries conviction, and the most successful teachers are those who make the best use of sound and telling illustrations. How many lessons would have been wholly forgotten by us, but for the illustrations which made their meanings clear and left their truths for ever in our minds? The book of nature is full of illustrations which help the understanding of the book of life, and no illustrations are more valuable and fascinating, whether as revelations of the order and habits of nature herself, or as parallels and parables, full of suggestive application to the social and moral life of humanity, than those afforded by the study of Natural History. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Pages : 200
Book Description
Excerpt from Hughes's Illustrated Anecdotal Natural History Without some means, however, of preserving the chisel-like sharpness of these teeth, the mere replace ment of wasted substance would be of little use. In order to obtain the desired result, the teeth are con structed after a very singular fashion. The body of the tooth is composed of pure ivory, coated on the outer surface with a thin layer of enamel, which being of a very much harder nature, is not worn away with the same rapidity. Besides this, the ivory nearest the enamel is harder than the rest, and the softer parts being easiest worn down, the edge of the tooth always keeps the same proportions, the actual cutting being performed with the edge Of the enamel. Our carpenter's Chisels are constructed on exactly the same principle, the chief portion of them being composed Of soft iron, while a very thin plate of steel is laid along the back and forms the cutting edge of the tool. So much for the characteristics of the rodents as a whole. Now for those of that group which are known as squirrels.
