Overall, Fabre Poet of Science offers a comprehensive look at the life and work of one of the most important figures in the history of science. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the natural world, entomology, or the history of science.In the domain of things positive, it is not always sufficient to gather the facts, to record them, and to codify in bare formulae the results of inquiry. Doubtless every essential discovery is able to stand by itself; in what would an inventor profit, for example, by raising himself to the level of the artist? ""For the theorem lucidity suffices; truth issues naked from the bottom of a well.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
