Scarce and Interesting 19th Century Review on the Following Book
Author:
RICHARDSON, John.
Title: Fauna Boreali-Americana; or the
Zoology of the Northern Parts of British America - (A Review) Publisher: Boston: The Edinburgh Review, 1833.
Notes:An engaging contemporary analysis on a historically valuable book, which was published in 1831.
Review that comprises an examination of
the geographical distribution of various animals within a circuit
encompassing Melville Island, the Barren Grounds,
eastern district, the limestone tract, prairie lands and Rocky
Mountains to the shores of the Polar sea, and a look at John Richardson's
descriptions of the
natural history objects collected on the 'northern land expeditions' under
the command of Captain sir John Franklin. Richardson's was considered one of
the most important
volumes published during the nineteenth century
dealing with Canadian mammals,
and was long renowned a standard work on the subject.
A rare and special item to pair with the collector's copy of the book!
