Natural History: A Popular Introduction To The Study Of Quadrupeds, Or Of The Class Mammalia, On Scientific Principles. Adapted For Youth With A Particular Notice Of Those Mentioned In The Scripturesis a nineteenth?century primer that surveys the animal kingdom through a Christian lens.

It blends natural history with moral instruction, drawing on biblical passages to illustrate providence, duty toward creation, and the responsibility of humans as stewards.
