"Originally published in 1774 as 'History of the Earth and Animated Nature', Oliver Goldsmith's popular writings were described as being "of a class that the world would not willingly let die." This fascinating study of the wonderful creations of nature, written in beautiful, clear prose, and combined with some of the finest natural history prints ever created, provides a kaleidoscopic view of the animal kingdom. Goldsmith drew heavily on the work of his earlier naturalists, using Buffon as his main guide, although he had little regard for the elaborate classifications of other scientists. It was his aim "to excite an interest in the science of natural history by displaying before the public eye its numberless treasures." This, therefore, is not a scientific work, but a highly entertaining account, which the English diaryist Samuel Johnson prophesied would "prove as interesting as a fairytale," of the habits, manners, friendships and hostilities of a wide array of animals, such as the scorpion, the sheep, the cassowary and the sea urchin. Goldsmith's prose is lavishly illustrated, with more than 200 finely reproduced plates that range from the majestic birds and beasts of the jungle, to farmyard animals, and to the smaller, but no less fascinating reptiles, insects, and fish. These exquisitely accurate and colorful plates from M. Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle are the perfect companion to Goldsmith's Illustrated History of the Natural World. Included are illustrations from the best natural history artists of the nineteenth century, such as Oudard, Pretre, Blanchard, Travies and Baron. The combination of Goldsmith's prose and these beautiful plates create a classic work, the like of which has not been seen in the public domain for years." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. d"Orbigny, Charles; Stewart, J.; Bewick, Thomas; Oudart; Pretre; Blanchard; Travies; Baron, et al (illustratore).…
