First Setence:

"I CAN not more appropriately introduce the Cosmos than by presenting a brief sketch of the life of its illustrious author."
"In the attempt to grasp the inexhaustible materials afforded by the study of then physical world-or in other words-to group phenomena in such a manner as to facilitate our insight into their causal connection, general clearness and lucidity can only be secured where special details-more particularly in the long and successfully cultivated fields of observation-are not separated from the higher points of view of cosmical unity."
"WE again commence with the depths of cosmical space, and the remote sporadic starry systems, which appear to telescopic vision as faintly shining nebula."
"WE are now about to proceed from the sphere of objects to that of sensations."
"WHEN the human mind first attempts to subject to its control the world of physical phenomena, and strives by meditative contemplation to penetrate the rich luxuriance of living nature, and the mingled web of free and restricted natural forces, man feels himself raised to a height from whence, as he embraces the vast horizon, individual things blend together in varied groups, and appear as if shrouded in a vapoury veil."
