"Julia has buried her husband and married her daughters, and since that she spends her time in reading. She is always reading foolish and unedifying books.

But the best of it is that it serves to dispose of a good deal of her spare time.
Although our sole knowledge of animated nature is confined to what we learn by experience on the earth, yet it is a most entertaining, and by no means unedifying, occupation, to seek to apply to the exceedingly diversified conditions prevailing in the other planets, as astronomical observations reveal them to us, the principles, types, and limitations that govern the living creatures of our world, and to judge, as best we can, how far those types and limits may be modified or extended so that those other planets may reasonably be included among the probable abodes of life.
