Excerpt from The Natural History of Pliny, Vol. 1: Translated, With Copious Notes and IllustrationsIn the present translation, the principal editions of Pliny have been carefillly consulted, and no pains have been spared, as a reference to the Notes will show, to present to the reader the labours of recent Commentators, among Whom stands pre-eminent the celebrated Cuvier. It has been a primary object to bring to the illustration of the work whatever was afforded by the progress of knowledge and modern discoveries in science and art. Without ample illustration, Pliny's valuable work would want much of the interest Which belongs to it, and present difficulties scarcely surmountable by any one Who has not made the Author his especial study.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
