Alexander von Humboldt Cosmos

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. IN pursuance Of the aim which I had proposed to myself, as attainable in a degree commensurate with my own powers and with the present state of knowledge, I have consi dered Nature, in the two volumes Of the Cosmos which have already appeared, in a twofold point Of View. I have sought to represent her, first, in the pure Objectivity of external phaenomena, and, next, as the reflex of the image received through the senses on the mirror of man's inner being, his ideas and feelings.
