About this book

Originally published in the early 1900s. The illustrated contents include: Schoolmen and Herbalists - The Wonderful World of the Microscope - Science at Court: Buffon and Reaumur - Linnaeus and His Life Work - The Great Field Trips - Lamarck - Georges Cuvier - Bartram and Michaux - Wilderness Birdsmen; Wilson and Audubon - Frontier Utopians - Goethe and the Romanticists - Darwin and Wallace - Darwinism and the Man Behind It - Fabre and the World of Insects etc. Many of the earliest natural history books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
