[EAN: 9781331928836], New book, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . This book usually ship within 10-15 business days and we will endeavor to dispatch orders quicker than this where possible. Brand New Book. Excerpt from Report on the Invertebrata of Massachusetts: Published Agreeably to an Order of the Legislature Dear Sir, I am happy to inform you that I have brought to a close my researches concerning those departments of the Zoology of the State, which were assigned to me; and I herewith forward to you such portion of my Report as I have found time to copy. The preparation and engraving of the figures with which I have been instructed to illustrate the work, will, however, necessarily cause considerable delay before it can be issued from the press. Appointed, as I suppose myself to have been, under that section of the Constitution, which enjoins it upon the Legislature to encourage the arts and sciences, and to promote, among other things, a natural history of the country, I have ventured to make my Report mainly of a scientific character. It was the only way in which my labors could prove of much practical value, inasmuch as very few of the objects, belonging to the portion of the animal kingdom to which my attention has been given, are of much general interest, or of much importance in an economical point of view. I could not but suppose, that an effort to contribute something towards that branch of science, which we have hitherto received entirely at the hands of other States and other lands, would be desired and approved; and that Massachusetts, which first set the example in those investigations of territorial natural resources, which have since been undertaken by almost every State in the Union, would not desire to be behind any of the States in this respect. I have, therefore, undertaken to present something more than a mere array of names in the form of a catalogue. As I could not extend my plan, fully, to all the objects assigned me, I have selected the Shells, on which to bestow my chief attention.

Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Report on the Invertebrata of Massachusetts: Published Agreeably to an Order of the Legislature Most of these woodcuts were engraved by Mr. Henry Marsh, so well known for his beautiful illustrations of Harris's Insects. Dr. Gould had prepared for engraving many beautiful drawings of Nudibranchiata. Professor Agassiz has added largely to these, and also has furnished many drawings of Tunicata and Cephalo poda. These I have grouped into plates which have been printed by chromo-lithography, by Messrs. Bowen Co., of Philadelphia, in a most creditable manner. I have retained the references to the figures of the original plates and have continued from them the numbering of the figures in the new edition, first in the plates, and then in the text. The number ing of the plates in this edition commences with XVI., thus allow ing for the fifteen original copperplates, although they were not numbered. In addition to the gentlemen named above, and in various notes throughout the text, I am indebted to Dr. W. Stimpson and Dr. P. P. Carpenter for valuable assistance in preparing the work.
