Ephemera is a book written by George Edward Rice and published in 1852. The book is a collection of essays and observations on various topics such as natural history, literature, and philosophy. The title of the book, Ephemera, refers to the fleeting nature of life and the transience of all things. Rice explores this theme throughout the book, examining the beauty and fragility of the natural world and the impermanence of human existence. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different topic. The first section is devoted to natural history, with essays on insects, birds, and other creatures. Rice's observations are detailed and insightful, and he often draws parallels between the behavior of animals and human society. The second section of the book is devoted to literature and includes essays on Shakespeare, Milton, and other literary figures. Rice's writing is erudite and thoughtful, and he offers a unique perspective on these well-known authors. The final section of the book is devoted to philosophy and includes essays on topics such as morality, religion, and the nature of existence. Rice's writing is deeply contemplative and often challenges conventional wisdom. Overall, Ephemera is a thoughtful and insightful book that explores the beauty and fragility of life. Rice's writing is elegant and thought-provoking, and the book is a valuable contribution to the literature of its time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
