Excerpt from Suggestions Offered on the Part of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Liverpool, to Members of the Mercantile Marine, Who May Be Desirous of Using the Advantages They Enjoy for the Promotion of Science, in Furtherance of Zoology
The science of Natural History necessitates two methods of investigation. One method is the study of the external and internal characters of natural objects, their peculiarities, resemblances and differences. The other is the study of their manners and habits; the conditions under which they are found; and their distribution over the earth and seas.
The first method requires closet study, and may be most effectually pursued by the stay-at-home naturalist; the second can only be followed where the living objects themselves are to be found.
