Originally published in 1876, this is a wonderfully detailed guide to
collecting and preserving all varieties of nature specimens. Full of
clear diagrams and illustrations, the book has much practical advice and
information to offer the modern reader, as well as a fascinating glimpse
of a more innocent scientific age. Many of the earliest books,
particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern
editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include
