Excerpt from Outdoor Philosophy: The Meditations of a Naturalist
It is my present purpose, in place of writing about woodsand fields, to record the thoughts which these have inspired. Certainly I shall attempt the evolution of no system, as the term Philosophy might imply; yet am I inwardly assured that the result will be in some measure philosophic and, moreover, that it will be sound and sane, and it is this latter conviction, above all, which encourages me to proceed. Should any criticism unfold itself as the natural reaction of an outdoor life, let us hope that it may at least have the merit of being good-humoured. So I take some unction to myself in reflecting upon this good beginning, whatever the end may be. Having no complete philosophy to offer, you may expect nothing more than intimations of the philosophic life - the sane and beautiful life that haunts our Earthly dream. If some hints drop from the clouds, as many will spring from the ground.
