La Nature (Nature) was a French language magazine aimed at the popularization of science founded in 1873 by French scientist and adventurer Gaston Tissandier. The magazine also received an enormous amount of time, effort and contributions from his brother, Albert Tissandier.
A weekly magazine until the 1920s, it became first fortnightly, and in 1948 it began to be published monthly.
From 1873 to 1914, each year started at the beginning of December. The second six-month period began with the first issue in June. Starting in 1915, La Nature's publishing year was brought in sync with the calendar year.

Famous quotes containing the word nature:
“When a Man is in a serious Mood, and ponders upon his own Make, with a Retrospect to the Actions of his Life, and the many fatal Miscarriages in it, which he owes to ungoverned Passions, he is then apt to say to himself, That Experience has guarded him against such Errors for the future: But Nature often recurs in Spite of his best Resolutions, and it is to the very End of our Days a Struggle between our Reason and our Temper, which shall have the Empire over us.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
