Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Introduction to Zoology, for the Use of Schools, Vol. 2: Vertebrate Animals; With Upwards of 160 Illustrations
Sensible of the improvement effected on Part I. By its having passed through this ordeal of friendly criticism, I hesitated not to pursue the same course with the present part, and thus to render it, as far as in my power, worthy of the kind reception that had been awarded to the first.
I have endeavoured throughout, to mention in the foot notes, the sources whence the information has been obtained; not only that an authority might thus be given for the facts, but that the learner who felt disposed to enter more fully into the subject might be directed to trustworthy guides.
