Présentation de l'éditeur
It consists of two great divisions :-first, that which treats of inorganig or dead bodies; second, that which deals with organic or living substances. The sciences which treat of inorganic bodies are termed Mineralogy and Geology, while that which deals with the properties common to organic beings (plants and animals) is termed Biology (G r. bios, life; logos, a discourse). This science comprises Botany (G r. botane, a plant), which treats of the properties of plants, and Zoology (G r. zoon, an animal; logos, a discourse), which investigates the nature and habits of animals. In the popular use of the term, Natural History is often synonymous with Zoology. The most important differences between organic and inorganic bodies are :1. Inorganic bodies are either indefinite in shape (amorplious), or assume regular forms called crystals, which are bounded by plane surfaces and straight lines. Organic bodies are generally definite in shape, and are bounded by curved lines and rounded surfaces. Inorganic bodies increase in size by the addition of similar particles to the outside. Organic bodies grow by the receiving and assimilation of matter into the interior.
