Conclusion
To many creatures there is in this sense but one necessary of life， Food. To the bison of the prairie it is a few inches of palatable grass， with water to drink; unless he seeks the Shelter of the forest or the mountain's shadow. None of the brute creation requires more than Food and Shelter. The necessaries of life for man in this climate may， accurately enough， be distributed under the several heads of Food， Shelter， Clothing， and Fuel; for not till we have secured these are we prepared to entertain the true problems of life with freedom and a prospect of success. Man has invented， not only houses， but clothes and cooked food; and possibly from the accidental discovery of the warmth of fire， and the consequent use of it， at first a luxury， arose the present necessity to sit by it. We observe cats and dogs acquiring the same second nature. By proper Shelter and Clothing we legitimately retain our own internal heat; but with an excess of these， or of Fuel， that is， with an extemal heat greater than our own internal， may not cookery properly be said to begin? Dar- win， the naturalist， says of the inhabitants of Tierra del Fuego， that while his own party， who were well clothed and sitting close to a fire， were far from too warm， these naked savages， who were farther off， were observed， to his great surnrise， "to be streaming with perspiration at undergoing such a roasting. " So， we are told， the New Hollander goes naked with impunity， while the European shivers in his clothes. Is it impossible to combine the hardiness of these savages with the intellectualness of the availed man? According to Liebig， man's body is a stove， and food the fuel which keeps up the internal combustion in the lungs. In cold weather we eat more， in warm less. The animal heat is the result of a slow combustion， and disease and death take place when this is too rapid; or for want of fuel， or from some defect in the draught， the fire goes out. Of course the vital heat is not to be confounded with fire; but so much for analogy. It appears， therefore， from the above list， that the expression， animal life， is nearly synonymous with the expression， animal heat; for while Food may be regarded as the Fuel which keeps up the fire within us， -and Fuel serves only to prepare that Food or to increase the warmth of our bodies by addition from without， -Shelter and Clothing also serve only to retain the heat thus generated and absorbed. The grand necessity， then， for our bodies， is to keep warm， to keep the vital heat in us. What pains we accordingly take， not only with our Food， and Clothing， and Shelter， but with our beds， which are our night-clothes， robbing the nests and breasts of birds to prepare this shelter within a shelter， as the mole has its bed of grass and leaves at the end of its burrow! The poor man is wont to complain that this is a cold world; and to cold， no less physical than soaal， we refer direcdy a great part of our ails. The summer， in some climates， makes possible to man a sort of Elysian life. Fuel， except to cook his Food， is then unnecessary; the sun is Hs fire， and many of the fruits are sufficiently cooked by its rays ; while Food generally is more various， and more easily obtained， and Clothing and Shelter are wholly or half unnecessary. At the present day， and in this country， as I find by my own experience， a few implements， a knife， an axe， a spade， a wheelbarrow， etc.， and for the studious， lamplight， stationery， and access to a few books， rank next to necessaries， and can all be obtained at a trifling cost. Yet some， not w：ise， go to the other side of the globe， to barbarous and unhealthy regions， and devote themselves to trade for ten or twenty years， in order that they may live， -that is， keep comfortably warm， -and die in New England at last. ……

原以为这本书是16K大小的，不过到手真的蛮小的
买来送人的，感觉还不错，但是比我想象中的要小，这个无所谓吧，内容才重要。希望朋友喜欢~

很喜欢，虽然我还没深读呢！
喜是本小一点的书。
不同版本同样好书
感觉这本书封皮不错 但是买贵了
这次买了9本书，这本最不喜欢吧。看的时候选了中央编译出版社的那一本，可是第二天就变成区域缺货，之前买过中央编译出版社的培根散文，觉得整体效果很好，可是在当当竟然买不了，真的不能理解区域购买到底是怎么回事。这一本买的人少，买的时候比较犹豫，现在翻看，有的书页字和页边不是平行的，纸张切割不好，虽说在这本书的装帧上力图表达一种淡雅的气息，可是效果却并不理想，本来书就很小，翻开一目了然的文字与页边不平行，不免让书的质量大跌（且不说内容）。
书的内容还没有看，但是书和我想象中的差很远，质量不很好，失望
