Download or read book A General History of Quadrupeds written by Thomas Bewick and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late eighteenth century, the British took greater interest than ever before in observing and recording all aspects of the natural world. Travelers and colonists returning from far-flung lands provided dazzling accounts of such exotic creatures as elephants, baboons, and kangaroos. The engraver Thomas Bewick (1753–1828) harnessed this newfound interest by assembling the most comprehensive illustrated guide to nature of his day. A General History of Quadrupeds, first published in 1790, showcases Bewick’s groundbreaking engraving techniques that allowed text and images to be published on the same page. From anteaters to zebras, armadillos to wolverines, this delightful volume features engravings of over four hundred animals alongside descriptions of their characteristics as scientifically understood at the time. Quadrupeds reaffirms Bewick’s place in history as an incomparable illustrator, one whose influence on natural history and book printing still endures today.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A General History of Quadrupeds Although the Horse is endowed with vast strength and powers, he seldom exerts either to the prejudice of his master: on the contrary, he shares with him in his labours, and seems to participate in his pleasures: gene rous and persevering, he gives up his whole powers to the service of his master; though bold and intrepid, he represses the natural vivacity and fire of his temper, and not only yields to the hand, but seems to consult the inclination of his rider.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of British Quadrupeds: Including the Cetacea The advantages of local Faunas are too generally under stood and acknowledged to require any lengthened proof or illustration. It may indeed be doubted whether the study of the animals of particular tracts of country has not contributed more than any other means to the ad vancement of zoological knowledge, especially as regards those important branches, the geographical distribution of animals, the influence of climate, of soil, and of other local circumstances, in determining the range of species, the changes of varieties, and the extent and periods of migration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cassell's Natural History, Vol. 2 Comparatively few of the fiesh-eaters are of direct use to man, at any rate while alive, yet one member of the group - the Dog - is the most useful of all domestic quadrupeds. Though derived from one of the most savage of all - the Wolf. The Ferret, the Cheetah and the Cat are also more or less domesticated; but they come far below the Dog in amiable qualities, and in value to man. Below their value in service comes the use of their most beautiful skins; and still lower down the scent, derivable from a few species. Yet from these two last sources our fair ones seek to derive new charms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
