Innanzi a' precedenti tomi della mia Storia ho trattenuti non brevemente i lettori or su uno, or su altro argomento che alla materia, di cui in essi dovea trattarsi, mi sembrava opportuno. Innanzi a questo nulla mi si offre che richiegga lungo proemio; nè io son tra quelli che pensano che una lunghissima prefazione aggiunga ornamento e fama ad un libro. Io mi compiaccio nel vedermi omai giunto alla metà della difficil carriera che ho presa a correre; poichè tutta l'opera non oltrepasserà, come credo, l'ottavo, o il nono volume. Il favorevole accoglimento troppo maggiore di quel che io potessi sperare, con cui è stata ricevuta finora questa mia Storia...

I vassalli. Con la distruzione del regno macedone il supremo dominio di Roma, divenuto un fatto compiuto, non solo si consolidò dalle colonne d'Ercole alle foci del Nilo e dell'Oronte, ma, quasi ultima parola del fato, gravitava, con tutto il peso dell'inevitabilità, sui popoli, e sembrava lasciar loro soltanto la scelta tra una disperata resistenza e un disperato martirio. Se la storia non avesse il diritto di reclamare dal lettore serio di esser seguìta nei suoi giorni felici come nei tristi, attraverso le rose e le spine, lo storiografo si sentirebbe tentato di sottrarsi al doloroso compito di seguire nei suoi molteplici ma monotoni svolgimenti...

Il secolo XIII avea data in certo modo la nascita all'ecclesiastica giurisprudenza, disegnata dapprima, per così dire, nelle private raccolte che delle Decretali de' Papi alcuni aveano fatto senza pubblica autorità, e poscia stabilita e confermata solennemente con quella che ne pubblicò Gregorio IX. Aveala più ampiamente ancora distesa Bonifacio VIII col sesto libro delle Decretali da lui pubblicato, come nel tomo precedente si è dimostrato. E nuove aggiunte pur le si fecero in questo secolo di cui scriviamo. Clemente V...

Nel castello di Varzin una sera dell¿autunno del 1877 ¿ è un amico, il signor Moritz Busch, che racconta ¿ il principe Ottone di Bismarck si era seduto, dopo il pranzo, innanzi al camino e, contrariamente alle sue abitudini, taceva assorto in chi sa quali pensieri, mentre di tempo in tempo, sbadatamente, attizzava con le molle il fuoco. Gli amici intorno rispettavano la sua meditazione, tacendo anch¿essi; quando a un tratto, di propria iniziativa, il principe ruppe il silenzio e cominciò un lungo lamento lagnandosi di aver cavata poca gioia da tutta la sua tempestosa attività di statista e di aver tanto lavorato, senza riescire a far nessuno felice; non sè stesso, non la sua famiglia, non...

Vidi condensarsi il nembo, che minacciava in sul principio i principi italiani, come oggi terribile sui popoli della Penisola s'addensa. Seguii d'ogni mia possa i nobili sforzi di qualche eletto, che aprir tentava le menti de' suoi fratelli d'ogni condizione, d'ogni provincia ¿ nei loro interessi istruirli ¿ inspirar loro fiducia nelle proprie sue forze. Vidi infiammarsi il loro coraggio ¿ addottrinarsi, e le genti sommuoversi. Divisi con loro la speranza, e seco mi trovai sull'orlo di quel precipizio, dal quale uno sforzo disperato soltanto può ritrarci.

Le nouveau logement des Coupeau se trouvait au sixième, escalier B. Quand on avait passé devant mademoiselle Remanjou, on prenait le corridor, à gauche. Puis, il fallait encore tourner. La première porte était celle des Bijard. Presque en face, dans un trou sans air, sous un petit escalier qui montait à la toiture, couchait le père Bru. Deux logements plus loin, on arrivait chez Bazouge. Enfin, contre Bazouge, c'étaient les Coupeau, une chambre et un cabinet donnant sur la cour. Et il n'y avait plus, au fond du couloir, que deux ménages, avant d'être chez les Lorilleux, tout au bout.Une chambre et un cabinet, pas plus. Les Coupeau perchaient là, maintenant. Et encore la chambre étaitelle large comme la main. Il fallait y faire tout, dormir, manger et le reste. Dans le cabinet, le lit de Nana tenait juste; elle devait se déshabiller chez son père et sa mère, et on laissait la porte ouverte, la nuit, pour qu'elle n'étouffât pas. C'était si petit, que Gervaise avait cédé des affaires aux Poisson en quittant la boutique, ne pouvant tout caser. Le lit, la table, quatre chaises, le logement était plein. Même le coeur crevé, n'ayant pas le courage de se séparer de sa commode, elle avait encombré le carreau de ce grand coquin de meuble, qui bouchait la moitié de la fenêtre. Un des battants se trouvait condamné, ça enlevait de la lumière et de la gaieté. Quand elle voulait regarder dans la cour, comme elle devenait très grosse, elle n'avait pas la place de ses coudes, elle se penchait de biais, le cou tordu, pour voir.

I mirabili istinti mercè cui gli animali provvedono alle necessità della loro esistenza e di quella della lor prole, i costumi loro differentissimi, nei quali si estrinseca il principio immateriale ed intelligente della vita animale, porsero argomento a bellissimi studi e ricerche onde s¿illustrarono Réaumur, Buffon, Huber, Dzierzon e moltissimi altri che non occorre enumerare. Il complesso ordinato delle nozioni che derivano da simili studi e ricerche, costituisce a mio parere, un ramo di scienza a parte, abbastanza ben circoscritto ed importantissimo, che io denominerei biologia o più propriamente etologia.
