Mark Smith, “Animacules and Other Little Subjects”

Mark Smith is extremely passionate about the microscopic world. He has devoted his time to animalcules and takes great pleasure in observing them. Unfortunately for Smith, the passion he has is not shared by anybody in his family. Smith's niece states how what her uncle is doing is interesting but only for the moment. From this article it seems as though Smith is possibly the only person he knows that is interested in this wonder. Alongside his family, not even scientist are interested in animalcules.
