A Manual Of The Elements Of Natural History, Tr. By R.T. Gore by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach. This translated edition (1825) presents Blumenbach’s comprehensive manual on Natural History as an introductory reference for academical study, with plates and an index of natural productions. It pursues a clear, systematic arrangement of the subject, distinguishing natural from artificial bodies and dividing nature into Animals, Plants, and Minerals. The work emphasizes observation, anatomy, physiology, and taxonomy, while engaging with debates on epigenesis and evolution through the concept of the Formative Impulse, and discussing monsters, races, reproduction, and human exceptionalism. Structured into sections on natural bodies, organized bodies, animals, mammals, and birds, it offers extensive taxonomy and descriptive material intended as a foundational reference for taxonomy, the history of natural philosophy, and 19th-century views on species and domestication. The tone is encyclopedic and didactic, combining empirical detail with philosophical reflection in a broad classical framework grounded in Aristotle, Linnaeus, and Kant.
