The Naturalist's Guide in Collecting and Preserving Objects of Natural History, with a Complete Catalogue of the Birds of the Eastern Massachusetts - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The great need of a good illustrated work to guide young naturalists in collecting and preserving objects of natural history has induced me to prepare the present Manual. In this attempt I hope I have been in some degree successful. I have spared no pains to bring together, in a comprehensive form, the results of many years of experience in collecting and preserving objects of natural history, both for private cabinets and for scientific museums. No popular work of this kind has before been published in A merica. Throughout the present work I have endeavored to encourage the young to engage in the ennobling study of Natural History, and to join the band of young naturalists so rapidly increasing in our land. I trust the reader will not by any means keep the teachings of this book secret, as some taxidermists are wont to counsel, but spread it broadcast among those who would profit by the information I have herein attempted to convey. It is intended for theN aturalist, whoever and wherever he may be ;and as it comes from a colaborer in the common field, it will, perhaps, be well received.
