Publisher's Synopsis
The Book of Fishes: Class Pisces is a comprehensive guide to the classification and identification of fish species, originally published in 1834 by the Society Promoting Christian Knowledge. The book contains detailed descriptions and illustrations of various fish species, including their physical characteristics, habitats, and behaviors. It also includes information on the anatomy and physiology of fish, as well as their economic and cultural importance. The Society Promoting Christian Knowledge, a British organization founded in 1698, aimed to promote education and Christian values through the publication of literature and other materials. The Book of Fishes was one of their many publications aimed at educating readers on the natural world and encouraging a deeper understanding and appreciation of God's creation. Today, the book remains a valuable resource for scientists, fishermen, and anyone interested in the study of fish.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
