Manual of Taxidermy: A Complete Guide in Collecting and Preserving Birds and Mammals (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from Manual of Taxidermy: A Complete Guide in Collecting and Preserving Birds and Mammals
Twenty-five or thirty years ago amateur collectors of birds were rare; in fact, excepting in the immediate vicinity of large cities, individuals who spent their leisure time in gathering birds for the sole purpose of study, were so seldom met with that, when one did occur, his occupation was so unusual as to excite the comments of his neighbors, and he became famous for miles around as highly eccentric. Such a man was regarded as harmless, but as just a little "cracked," and the lower classes gazed at him with open-mouthed wonder as he pursued his avocations; while the more educated of his fellows regarded him with a kind of placid contempt.
