Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bibliographia Zoologiæ Et Geologiæ, Vol. 1: A General Catalogue of All Books, Tracts, and Memoirs on Zoology and Geology; Containing Periodicals, and the Alphabetical List From a to Byw
The first portion of the work contains a list, arranged geo graphically, of all the known periodical or miscellaneous pub lications which contain treatises on Zoology or Geology. As however it was in many cases impossible to make a personal examination of all such works, on account of their extreme rarity and limited circulation, it is probable that some of them, may not in fact contain matter relevant to our purpose. This seems to be especially the case with the periodicals of France and Italy, enumerated hereafter, many of which ap pear from their titles to be either of a popular nature, or to be remotely connected with our subject-matter. We have how ever preferred to err on the side of excess rather than of de feet, especially as it may interest the student in other branches of science, to find here recorded the titles of many valuable periodicals whose existence was previously unknown to him. Nor must it be supposed that some Journals, whose titles have no apparent reference to Zoology or Geology, are here inserted without good reason. Many a valuable fact relating to those subjects lies buried in periodicals Specially devoted to Chemistry, Meteorology and other physical sciences, and in the majority of instances the compilers have themselves ascertained such to be the case before they ventured to insert a title into their list.
