He had, however, little opportunity for developing it until, in 1827, he found himself clerk in a whaler's See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office at Carbonear, in See also:Newfoundland, where he beguiled the tedium of his See also:life by observations, chiefly with the See also:microscope. After a brief and unsuccessful interlude of farming in See also:Canada, during which he wrote an unpublished See also:work on the See also:entomology of Newfoundland, he travelled in the See also:United States, was received and noticed by men of See also:science, was employed as a teacher for some See also:- TIME (0.

time in See also:Alabama, and returned to See also:England in 1839. His See also:Canadian Naturalist (1840), written on the voyage See also:home, was followed in 1843 by his Introduction to See also:Zoology. His first widely popular See also:book was The Ocean (1844). In 1844 Gosse, who had meanwhile been teaching in See also:London, was sent by the See also:British Museum to collect specimens of natural history in See also:Jamaica. He spent nearly two years on that See also:island, and after his return published his Birds of Jamaica (1847) and his Naturalist's Sojourn in Jamaica (1851). He also wrote about this time several zoological See also:works for the S.P.C.K., and laboured to such an extent as to impair his See also:health. While recovering at See also:Ilfracombe, he was attracted by the forms of marine life so abundant on that See also:shore, and in 1853 published A Naturalist's Rambles on the See also:Devonshire See also:Coast, accompanied by a description of the marine See also:aquarium invented by him, by means of which he succeeded in preserving zoophytes and other marine animals of the humbler grades alive and in See also:good See also:condition away from the See also:sea. This arrangement was more fully set forth and illustrated in his Aquarium (1854), succeeded in 1855–1856 by A See also:Manual of Marine Zoology, in two volumes, illustrated by nearly 700 See also:wood engravings after the author's drawings. A See also:volume on the marine See also:fauna of See also:Tenby succeeded in 1856. In See also:June of the same See also:year he was elected F.R.S. Gosse, who was a most careful observer, but who
lacked the philosophical spirit, was now tempted to See also:essay work of a more ambitious See also:- ORDER

order, See also:publishing in 1857 two books, Life and Omphalos, embodying his speculations on the See also:appearance of life on the See also:earth, which he considered to have been instantaneous, at least as regarded its higher forms. His views met with no favour from scientific men, and he returned to the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger.

field of observation, which he was better qualified to cultivate. Taking up his See also:residence at St Marychurch, in See also:South See also:Devon, he produced from 1858 to 186o his See also:standard work on sea-anemones, the Actinologia Britannica. The See also:Romance of Natural History and other popular works followed. In 1865 he abandoned authorship, and chiefly devoted himself to the cultivation of See also:orchids. Study of the See also:Rotifera, however, also engaged his See also:attention, and his results were embodied in a monograph by Dr C. T. See also:Hudson (1886). He died at St Marychurch on the 23rd of See also:August 1888.
His life was written by his son, See also:Edmund Gosse.
