Synopsis
Excerpt from Beeton's Dictionary of Natural History: A Comprehensive Cyclopaedia of the Animal Kingdom, Containing Upwards of Two Thousand Complete and Distinct Articles
Ature, throughout the extent and variety of her productions and processes, is Man's great Teacher. If, indeed, the proper study of Mankind is Man, then a mass of plainly written, and carefully illustrated, information upon the Animal Kingdom is entitled to rank high amongst the Aids to Knowledge and we believe that the present work will materially assist readers and students in following their examination of Comparative and Human Physiology, as well as give the necessary answers to every-day questions in Natural History. There is ample testimony by the greatest minds to the vast value of an intimate acquaintance with the structure and habits of birds, beasts, and fishes for, from the time of Aristotle, first of scientific thinkers, to this day of Darwin and Huxley, the Animal Kingdom has had for its chief ministers and expounders the very foremost intellects.
Apart from the study of Animated Nature being peculiarly a healthy and ennobling pursuit, it leads not unfrequently to practical results of a very utilitarian character. That nothing exists for nothing, we well know it is our ignorance alone that prevents our making tenfold the use we do of the treasures, organic and inorganic, committed to our charge. It is not difficult to prove that Nature's Explorers have been the World's great Inventors and it is certain that nothing tends more towards the effectual training of the intellectual powers, than the habit of closely examining the Natural Living Wonders which surround us on every side.
