The Economy of the Animal Kingdom, volume III, La Fibre, préface de Bryn Athyn, janvier 1918, extrait:
"The literary style of this work (says Dr. Wilkinson) is concise and polished. [...] For his keen sighted induction penetrates into the hidden recesses of the animal body and of the entire world; to each part does he attribute his proper provinces and functions; he illumines them all with analytical and rational light; he fosters them with truly human heat, which is love; and to an awakened thought and a new-born reverence, he presents the entire organism as a work worthy of the Supreme Deity. He again joins soul to body. He grants and restores the empire of the superior over things inferior, of the spiritual over things natural. And so, our organic body, long the subject of bare anatomy, is presented to us men, and above all, to our mind, as animated anew. Thus haply we rise from the tomb and corpses of dead sciences to the living and gladsome lights of divine philosophy and, with sure faith firmly established, we wait with joy for more enlightened times. To God be the glory.“
Alfred Acton
