Two parts bound in one. 5" x 8" Although Le Spectacle de la Nature was occasionally used as a natural science textbook in its time Pluche's primary purpose in his eight volume work was to encourage young people to be excited and curious about the world around them. As the preface states Pluche writes "with the View of making young Persons sensible what Treasures they possess unenjoyed and to present to their Observation those things that Distance Minuteness or Inattention may have concealed from them" v. Written as a dialogue between four fictional characters the book follows the young Chevalier du Breuil as he visits his friends in the country. During their walks they discuss what they see which in this volume includes insects birds terrestrial animals fishes and plants. The conversations are not too technical; as Pluche says "we have endeavoured to exclude from the work whatever might seem disagreeable; and instead of a methodical Discourse or a Chain of Dissertations that frequently satiate and disgust we have chosen the Style of Dialogue as most natural and proper to engage all sorts of Readers" ix. A delightful mix of a natural history lesson with a lively chat with friends this work welcomes you into wonder crafting a lens of curiosity through which to see the world right outside your door. <br /> <br /> <br /> Kennedy Dictionary of Anonymous and Pseudonymous English Literature 340.
