Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to the Exhibition of Animals, Plants and Minerals Mentioned in the Bible It was thought by the Trustees of the British Museum that an Exhibition of Animals, Plants, and Minerals mentioned in the Bible would form an interesting supplement to the literary and historical Biblical Exhibition which has been arranged at Bloomsbury for the Tercentenary of the Authorised Version, and instructions were given for its preparation. The result is the collection now placer! in one of the bays of the Central Hall of the Natural History Museum. The Animals and Minerals, respectively, have been selected, arranged, and labelled by Mr. Lydekker and Dr. Herbert Smith, under the general supervision of the Keepers of Zoology and Mineralogy; the Plants have been selected, arranged, and labelled by Dr. Reudle, the Keeper of Botany. The zoological and botanical parts of the present guide-book are virtually reprints of the exhibited labels, and the information given on the latter has been to a considerable extent derived from the late Dr. H. B. Tristram's "Natural History of the Bible," the first edition of which was published in the year 1867. As regards the Biblical Minerals, scarcely any of them were found in Palestine itself or were brought from localities now known; they are not considered in Dr. Tristram's work, and, notwithstanding all that has been written about them during many centuries, there is still great uncertainty as to the original signification of the Hebrew or and Greek names. As the subject presents much difficulty, have contributed to the guide-book a short essay showing how modern interpretations of the ancient names of Biblical Minerals have been deduced.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scripture Natural History: The Animals Mentioned in the Bible In the following work the writer has availed himself of whatever knowledge he could obtain from previous authors. In addition to these sources, he has had the advantage of a lengthened tour in pursuit of Natural History in the Holy Land and its confines. The familiarity with most branches of the subjects here dealt with which arises from such exploration is most advantageous, if not necessary for the work. Owing to the researches carried on by the Palestine Exploration Fund, considerable accuracy has been arrived at in our estimate of Palestine Natural History. By its assistance, Canon Tristram worked out his valuable series of investigations, which have supplied us with a fund of information. And it was under the auspices of this Society that the expedition of which I formed a part brought a successful journey to a close, an account of which will be found in its publications by the leader of the party, Dr. Hull, F.

Download or read book Scripture Natural History written by William Carpenter and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scripture Natural History: Containing a Descriptive Account of the Quadrupeds, Birds, Fishes, Insects, Reptiles, Serpents, Plants, Trees, Minerals, Gems, and Precious Stones, Mentioned in the Bible In preparing this edition of the Scripture Natural History for the press, the author has carefully revised it throughout, and made such alterations in style and matter as will, he hope, render it more worthy of public acceptance than the former edition. In doing this, he has borne in mind a suggestion put forth in a favorable critique upon the first impression in the 'Eclectic Review, ' and by divesting the work of some of the dryness and tedium of criticism, and making it less diffuse, he has sought to give it a more 'popular, ' though not a less useful character. These alterations have enabled him, without omitting any thing of real value and utility, to bring the volume into a smaller compass, and publish it in a more attractive form. Since the publication of the former edition of this work, the author has been driven, by the force of circumstances, and a deep sense of moral responsibility, to devote much of his time and attention to objects of an apparently different aspect to those pursued in biblical literature, and which are regarded with considerable jealousy and suspicion by a large proportion of the religious public. This is not the place to justify the course he has taken, or to defend the motives by which he has been actuated, It is enough to say, that his attachment to biblical pursuits is as strong as ever, and that his conviction of the paramount importance and infinite value of pure and undented religion grows with his growth, and strengthens with his strength.

Download or read book Animal Liberation written by Peter Singer and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should we treat non-human animals? In this immensely powerful and influential book (now with a new introduction by Sapiens author Yuval Noah Harari), the renowned moral philosopher Peter Singer addresses this simple question with trenchant, dispassionate reasoning. Accompanied by the disturbing evidence of factory farms and laboratories, his answers triggered the birth of the animal rights movement. 'An extraordinary book which has had extraordinary effects... Widely known as the bible of the animal liberation movement' Independent on Sunday In the decades since this landmark classic first appeared, some public attitudes to animals may have changed but our continued abuse of animals in factory farms and as tools for research shows that the underlying ideas Singer exposes as ethically indefensible are still dominating the way we treat animals. As Yuval Harari’s brilliantly argued introduction makes clear, this book is as relevant now as the day it was written.
