Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular History of the Aquarium of Marine and Fresh-Water Animals and Plants IN the Introductory Chapter of this little Work will be found some general observations on the nature and uses of the Aquarium.

The greater part of the volume, however, is occupied by descriptive accounts of such animals as have been, or may be, observed in Aquaria to greatest advantage. They are arranged in the order of their respective classes; and while the greatest attention has been given to observa tions of their functions and habits, their physical structure and the places they occupy in the system of Nature have not been forgotten.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Beneath the Waters, or the Aquarium in America In a lecture given by Mr. Vvarriugtou before the Royal Institution of Great Britain, on the 27th of March, 1857, that gentleman gives us a history of the Aquarium, with the reasons that led him to think of establishing such a collection, in which the animal and vegetable existences would be so balanced that the water should not need' changing. After considerable trouble and persevering study, and several accidents that would have discouraged many men, he succeeded; and, in a paper read in the mouth of March, 1850, before the Chemical Society of London, he gave to the world an account of his success. His first experiments were with fresh-water plants and animals, and on the complete success of the tanks containing these, he commenced Operations with marine objects. In this branch, he has been more successful than any other naturalist that has given the results of his experience with the Aquarium. To the public.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Fresh-Water Aquarium: Or Practical Instructions, on the Formation, Stocking, and Management in All Seasons, of Collections of River Animals and Plants The Name. - The term vivarium was first applied to the vessel eontaining a collection of specimens of aquatic life, and the first Vivarium of such a kind, on anything like an extensive scale, was that opened to public exhi bitiou in the Regent's Park Zoological Gardens. Many naturalists had previously made experiments to ascertain some certain method of preserving aquatic animals in a living and healthy state; and the Vivariumbwhich is the result of those experiments, may be considered as an imitation of the means employed by nature herself in the preservation and perpetuation of the various forms of animal and vegetable life Which people the oceans and the Streams.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Aquarium and Water Cabinet, or Practical Instructions on the Formation, Stocking, and Management, in All Seasons, of Collections of Fresh Water and Marine Life Every day adds to the popularity of the but every day does not add to the accuracyof the published descriptions of it, or the perspicuity of the directions everywhere given for its formation and maintenance. Lately the periodical press has teemed with essays on the subject; but it does not require a very close scrutiny for the practical man to discern that a majority of such papers express the enthusiasm rather than the knowledge of their authors - a few weeks' management of a tank seeming to be considered a sufficient qualification for the expounding of its philosophy, though it demands an ao quaintance with the minutest details of the most refined departments of botany and zoology to do anything like justice to it. I have done my best to explain and illustrate the whole rationale of marine and fresh-water tanks in my lately published work, Rustic Adornments for Homes of Taste.

Download or read book The Ocean at Home written by Bernd Brunner and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2005-05-12 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mysterious world beneath the ocean's surface has captivated man for centuriesthe Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and ancient Chinese all kept fish in their homes for purposes other than the culinary. But it was not until the nineteenth-century invention of the aquarium that the deep was trulydomesticated, offering the curiously inclined a chance to invent their very own exotic sea world within their own walls. In this fascinating history of the aquarium, Bernd Brunner traces the development of this most wonderful invention, giving insight into the cultural and social circumstances that accompanied its swift rise in popularity. Brunner tells a compelling story of obsession, beauty, discovery, and delight, from the aquarium's humble origins as a tool for scientific observation to the Victorian era's elaborately decorated containers of oceanic curiosity, to the great public aquaria of the twentieth century.
Download or read book The Aquarium written by Philip Henry Gosse and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea The inhabitants of the deep sea have hitherto been almost inaccessible to such observation as this; and hence exceedingly little has been accumulated of their Biography. A paragraph went the round of the papers some months ago, to the effect that an eminent French zoologist, in order to prosecute his studies on the marine animals of the Mediterranean, had provided himself with a water - tight dress, suitable spectacles, and a breathing-tube so that he might walk on the bottom in a considerable depth of water, and mark the habits of the various creatures pursuing their avocations. Whether a scheme so elaborate was really attempted I know not; but I should anticipate feeble results from it. The marine aquarium, however, bids fair to supply the required opportunities, and to make us acquainted with the strange creatures of the sea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Aquarium Its Inhabitants, Structure, and Management We regard the institution of public aquaria as more or less the result of the deeper interest now felt in the life-histories of aquatic animals, consequent upon that extensive knowledge of natural history which is one of the intellectual features of our time. We believe their extension will be greater, on this account, than those people imagine who hold they will share the fate of "spelling bees," &c. That they are a popular means of education none will deny, and the success they have everywhere met with leads us to hope they are serving a good purpose. This little volume is intended as a handbook or popular manual to our public aquaria, so as to render them still more effective as a means of education. Their history, construction, and principles of management have been briefly described, as also the natural history of the chief animals which have been more or less successfully acclimatised.
