Excerpt from From Nature to ManThe title does not mean that man is not natural, or not within the realm of the generous mother. It is chosen for a few studies of nature and life given in a rather informal manner as lectures, some of which are narrative. The mountain, which is the subject of the first, was visited in the summer of 1905, and the lecture delivered that fall on a Sunday evening was orig inally a letter written just after the moun tain experience to the wife who was in the West, the beginning and ending only re-adapted, and is here slightly revised. The three which follow were in the autumn of 1907 the others, as a short series of general lessons, in 1908, and were among the last words of a pastorate with the people of Barre.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
