Zoological Illustrations
by William Swainson
Publisher: Project Gutenberg 2012
ISBN/ASIN: B007V9BDPO
Description:
We have had two principal objects in view: the diffusion of original observations, which, while they might further the ends of science, would also be interesting to the general reader; and that of discouraging the publication of distorted figures copied from old authors, by accustoming the public eye to original designs and correct representations of natural objects.
