Emblems: A Bird¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s-Eye View Of The Harmonies Of Nature With Mankind is a book written by Leo Hartley Grindon and first published in 1869. The book explores the interconnectedness of nature and humanity, drawing on the symbolism of birds to illustrate its themes. Grindon argues that the natural world can teach us important lessons about ourselves and our place in the world. He uses the example of birds, which he sees as emblematic of different human qualities and experiences. For example, he compares the soaring flight of the eagle to the aspirations of the human spirit, while the humble sparrow represents the everyday struggles of ordinary people. The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a different bird and its symbolic significance. Grindon draws on a range of sources, including mythology, literature, and natural history, to explore the cultural and spiritual meanings that have been attached to each bird. He also provides scientific information about each species, describing their physical characteristics, behavior, and habitat. Emblems is a richly illustrated book, with detailed engravings of each bird and its surroundings. Grindon's writing is poetic and evocative, blending scientific observation with philosophical reflection. The book offers a unique perspective on the relationship between humans and the natural world, and is a fascinating read for anyone interested in ecology, philosophy, or natural history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
