A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

RâS PREFACE. THERE are two reasons which have induced the Author to publish the following pages. The first is, that as the pleasing study of Natural History ought to be extensively introduced into institutions of learning, yet the generality of books already in circulation on this subject, present to the mind of the student either too great an amount of detail, or else include in a single volume, necessarily meagre, the whole Animal Kingdom. The second is, that a growing desire for further acquaintance with this study is felt among a large and increasing class of intelligent readers, who have not the facilities for using books of reference which savants have. In a country like this where a man is brought into contact with mere nature, teeming with unsuspected wealth, of what incalculable advantage is it to have, if it be but the rudiments of a science which will tell him the properties, and therefore the value of its animals and natural productions. He whose mind is relaxed and wearied, after the hours of business, will not sit dreaming over impossible scenes of pleasure, or go for amusement to haunts of coarse excitement, if his interest is once awakened in some study fitted to keep the mind in health. To gratify this desire to some extent, and to assist students in this department, is the object of the present work. Much of the matter is original, the result of a long and somewhat extensive familiarity with the science.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
