G. Seeley is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the fascinating subject of flying reptiles, also known as pterosaurs, covering their anatomy, evolution, and the role they played in Earth's history. Seeley, an accomplished geologist, draws upon his extensive research and discoveries to unravel the mysteries surrounding these once magnificent creatures. The opening of the work introduces the author’s background and his lifelong fascination with extinct flying reptiles, ignited during his time as a law student attending lectures by Sir Richard Owen. He recounts his investigations spanning over a decade, where he collected numerous fossils, contributing significantly to the understanding of these ancient animals. The narrative sets a tone of enthusiasm and reverence for the natural world, leading into a detailed discussion of the complexities of reptilian anatomy and their unexpected attributes compared to modern animals, establishing the groundwork for the comprehensive exploration that follows.
