Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Zoology, Vol. 1 of 2: Being a Systematic Account of the General Structure, Habits, Instincts, and Uses of the Principal Families of the Animal Kingdom; As Will as of the Chief Forms of Fossil Remains An interval of twelve years having elapsed since the appearance of the first edition of Carpenters Zoology it was found necessary, upon its republication, to submit the whole work to a careful revision, in order to render it an accurate representation of the present state of Zoological Science. Dr. Carpenter, who would of course be the fittest person to revise his own book, was prevented by his numerous avocations, coupled with the state of his health, from entering upon an undertaking which would necessarily require a considerable amount of time and labour for its due performance; and under these circumstances the Publisher, with Dr. Carpenters concurrence, applied to the present Editor to undertake the task. This he has performed to the best of his ability, although, from his being placed in the somewhat anomalous position of the Editor of the work of a living Author, it was not without its difficulties. In preparing this edition, the Editor has endeavoured to preserve as much as possible of the original work, and also to maintain and follow out the Authors mode of treatment in those parts which required alteration. Changes have been introduced only when they appeared to be imperatively called for; and in some instances, where a difference of opinion still exists in the minds of Zoologists, the original statements of the Author have been retained, even where opposed to the Editors own views. In the first volume, which treats of the higher Vertebrated Animals, the alterations are comparatively few, and relate principally to matters of detail; the most important being the elevation of the Batrachia to the rank of a distinct class. The second volume, however, containing the Fishes and the Invertebrated Animals, required to be in great part remodelled, in order to give due systematic effect to the numerous and important discoveries which have been made of late years in the anatomy and history of the lower classes of the animal kingdom.
