Books and Naturalists

Natural history, perhaps more than any other pursuit or study, has always relied heavily on books. Without their basic function of enabling the different kinds of animals and plants to be described and illustrated, the subject could never have gone on to thrive as it does today. This edition is produced from an original copy by William Collins.
