"Men that undertake only one district arc much more likely to advance
natural knowledge than those that grasp at more than they can possibly be
acquainted with. Every kingdom, every province, should have its own Mono-
grapher." — Gilbert White of Selborne.
" Seldom was ever any knowledge given to keep, but to impart; the grace of this
rich Jewel is lost in concealment."—Bishop Joseph Hall.
