Excerpt from Fur-Bearing Animals: In Nature and in CommerceThis work is intended, firstly, to aid persons engaged in trade to recognize readily, and to have a closer know ledge of the animals with which they are to some extent already familiar, and which they would have some difficulty in finding in more elaborate and scientific works. Secondly, to be a connecting link between commerce and science. The scientific portions of natural history are often described with much detail, but, though interesting and important, they should not altogether close our eyes to the relations which the animals bear to man, and the important part they play with regard to his clothing and, consequently, to his personal comfort. The Author has also endeavoured to make this work more interesting to the general public by adding small sketches of the habits of the animals.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
