Download or read book Natural History written by Pliny the Elder and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-02-05 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pliny's Natural History is an astonishingly ambitious work that ranges from astronomy to art and from geography to zoology. Mingling acute observation with often wild speculation, it offers a fascinating view of the world as it was understood in the first century AD, whether describing the danger of diving for sponges, the first water-clock, or the use of asses' milk to remove wrinkles. Pliny himself died while investigating the volcanic eruption that destroyed Pompeii in AD 79, and the natural curiosity that brought about his death is also very much evident in the Natural History - a book that proved highly influential right up until the Renaissance and that his nephew, Pliny the younger, described 'as full of variety as nature itself'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural History of Animals: Illustrated by Short Stories and Anecdotes; And Intended to Afford a Popular View of the Linnaean System of Arrangement, for the Use of Schools The following pages were commenced solely in the hope of affording such a simple, and, at the same time, such a systematical introduction to the Linnean System of Zoology, as might induce young persons to an earnest pursuit of the study of Natural History. It has ever been a principal object and endeavour of the author of this little work to extend, as widely as lay in his power, the knowledge of this interesting science; because he knows it to be fraught with the most sublime and important instruction. It not only affords us a clear and comprehensive proof of the existence of an Almighty Being, and supplies us with the fullest and most satisfactory demonstrations of his wisdom and goodness, but also furnishes us with abundant sources of observation, of reflection, and comfort, which are applicable to us under every circumstance, and in every condition of life. It would not have been difficult to have rendered the present publication more scientific; but this, as the author conceives, would, in a great degree, have prevented it from answering the purpose which he had most at heart.

CATEGORIES OF CLASSIFICATION. From the time that Linnaeus showed us the necessity of a scientific system as a framework for the arrangement of scientific facts in Natural History, the number of divisions adopted by zoologists and botanists increased steadily. Not only were families, orders, and classes added to genera and species, but these were further multiplied by subdivisions of the different groups. But as the number of divisions increased, they lost in precise meaning, and it became more and more doubtful how far they were true to Nature. Moreover, these divisions were not taken in the same sense by all naturalists: what were called families by some were called orders by others, while the orders of some were the classes of others, till it began to be doubted whether these scientific systems had any foundation in Nature, or signified anything more than that it had pleased Linnaeus, for instance, to call certain groups of animals by one name, while Cuvier had chosen to call them by another. These divisions are, first, the most comprehensive groups, the primary divisions, called branches by some, types by others, and divided by some naturalists into so-called sub-types, meaning only a more limited circumscription of the same kind of group; next we have classes, and these also have been divided into sub-classes; then orders and sub-orders; families and sub-families or tribes; then genera, species, and varieties. With reference to the question whether these groups really exist in Nature, or are merely the expression of individual theories and opinions, it is worth while to study the works of the early naturalists, in order to trace the natural process by which scientific classification has been reached; for in this, as in...
