A great Scottish science journal gathered the discoveries of a restless age. This volume ranges across the geographical distribution of animals, from the sturgeons to far-flung faunas, alongside the natural philosophy of its day. A rich cross-section of Victorian science in the making. Browse the findings that filled a nineteenth-century scientific mind.
