Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

But as I looked, wondering what these small bodies might be, a power of keener vision was given to me, and I saw many animalcules, inconceivably minute, upon the surface of the larger of the two small globes.

I could perceive that the greater part of the surface of this globe was covered with a film or moisture, and in this film were myriads of living creatures, moving about according to their several powers, some pursuing others, some pursued, but for the most part intent in seeking what they might devour.

Over the dry part of this tiny globe, which I could have held (so it seemed in my dream) between my finger and thumb, were other creatures in countless myriads, though not in all parts equally numerous.
