            <ptr target="ukred-31330">‘Truth, indeed,is stranger than fiction, and scientific facts more wonderful than the most imaginative plot written by a Wells or a Conan Doyle,and more engrossing than those romances pictorially illustrated by any “movie” artist in his most fascinating moments.
In considering this entrancing subject of science in its popular aspects, I love to remember that beautiful thought which Longfellow puts into his poem on “The Fifteenth [Fiftieth] Birthday of Agassiz” –
		“And nature, the old nurse, took
		  The child upon her knee,
		 Saying, “Here is a story-book
                         Thy Father has written for thee.”

		“Come wander with me”, she said
		 “Into regions yet untrod
		 And read what is still unread
		  In the manuscripts of God.”

		 And he wandered away and away
		  With Nature, the dear old nurse,
		 Who sang to him night and day
		  The rhymes of the Universe.

		And whenever the way seemed long
		  Or his heart began to fail,
	           She would sing a more wonderful song
		  Or tell a more marvellous tale.”"
