Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Guide to the Quadrupeds and Reptiles of Europe: With Descriptions of All the Species, Compiled From the Latest Writers
It was the want of some such guide which at first induced the Author to put together for his own information the descriptions of the Quadrupeds and Reptiles found in our own quarter of the globe, which form the present Work; and he trusts that the same want felt by others wishing to observe the animals of the countries which they visit in their Continental tours, will be found to justify its publication. The reader will kindly bear in mind that it is a mere compilation, intended to serve only until superseded by some more original work on the subject.
