Synopsis
Excerpt from De Vi Physica Et Imbecillitate Darwiniana
And Nature shows her power nowhere more clearly or more admirably than in the parts of animals. In their eyes, as those of hawks and owls; their ears, as those of hares or bats; in the foot of the camel or the polar bear, the wing of the humming bird, of the dragon fly, or the condor; in the trunk of the elephant, or the vertebral column of the boa-constrictor in the tongue of the woodpecker, or the battery of the electric eel; in the claws, jaws, wings, weapons, and all the marvellous organis ations of insects, and briefly, in all the in numerable parts of animals, as well as in the knowledge, generally intuitive, which every animal possesses, of how to use its peculiar organs so as to employ them to 'the best advantage: we see the Power of Nature, in actual existence and operation.
