(William) Zoological Illustrations, Volume 3 or, Original Figures and Descriptions of New, Rare, or Interesting Animals Produced by Chris Curnow, Keith Edkins and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Zoological Illustrations, Volume 3" by William Swainson is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. The work presents original figures and detailed descriptions of new, rare, or interesting animals, focusing primarily on ornithology, entomology, and conchology, and follows the principles of noted zoologists like Cuvier. The book aims to enhance knowledge and accessibility in zoological studies, countering criticism aimed at miscellaneous zoological works. The opening of this volume includes a preface where Swainson addresses various objections to his work and the genre of zoological miscellanies. He defends the value of such publications in making new discoveries accessible to a broader audience. Furthermore, he outlines the structured approach he has taken to ensure that the work comprises meaningful content, presenting previously unrecorded species and correcting misconceptions within zoology. The preface sets the stage for a rich exploration of biodiversity, illustrated with detailed plates of different species, underscoring Swainson's commitment to both artistic representation and scientific accuracy.
