“When, at the very outset of our studies, we cast a
glance upon creation, we are astonished at its
vastness, and we see that none of our fictions
attains the sublimity of its proportions."
This is the opening salvo from the first
section of this delightful little book by
Felix-Archimede Pouchet (1800-1872),
The Universe: or, the Infnitely Great
and the Infinitely Little, which was
published by Scribners in 1870.
