Excerpt from First Lessons in Zoology: Adapted for Use in SchoolsIn our larger museums there have been formed what are called "epitome collections," a single apartment containing a series of examples of the principal classes of the animal kingdom, so that, before entering the museum itself, the visitor may obtain some idea of the principal forms of animal life.This excellent plan has been kept in view in the preparation of these "First Lessons," and followed out as well as circumstances would allow.It differs from the authors two other text-books in Zoology - 1. In treating of still fewer examples or types, omitting representatives of a number of orders and classes described in his larger Zoology. 2. In using fewer technical terms and names. 3. In rendering the book an elementary guide to the principles of Biology, leading the student from facts to the principles, without tiring him with formal, general statements; the latter usually being printed in italics. 4. The subject, as a whole, is given in somewhat smaller compass. No boy or girl should leave school without at least as much knowledge of the life about us and of our own relations to the animal world, as should be found in a book of this sort. The teacher can carry a class through it in thirty days, or extend its use through a term, as the case may require. But this or any other book should not be used without specimens.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com
