(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

(The animal kingdom contains about tw hundred and fifty th...)
The animal kingdom contains about tw hundred and fifty thousand species, and the vegetable kingdom about eighty-five thousand species, making an aggregate of three hundred and thirty-five thousand organized objects, for the study of the naturalist. Besides these, rocks and minerals of every kind are to be added, which would probably swell the number to nearly four hundred thousand. The purpose of the science of Natural History is to arrange, divide and subdivide all these objects, so that they may be collectively and individually studied, with a view to the benefit of mankind. The design of this work is not to describe the characters and habits of every animal, nor the properties of every plant, mineral and rock on the surface of the earth; but to furnish to students in schools and colleges, and to readers generally, a text-book from which they may acquire the principles of the science of Natural History, which of course includes the principles of classification, and learn how to recognize the differences and resemblances, and the various properties of organized beings, as well as of inorganic matter. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
