Explore the fascinating world of zoology with “History of Quadrupeds: Volume 1” by Thomas Pennant, a pivotal work in natural history. Originally published in 1793 and now available in the Cambridge Library Collection, this edition offers a detailed overview of quadruped classification at the close of the eighteenth century. Pennant, a respected naturalist supported by Linnaeus himself, aimed to make natural history accessible to a broader audience. This beautifully illustrated volume, featuring over 100 engravings, draws upon esteemed works while offering Pennant’s unique perspectives, even on Linnaeus’s primate classification. A treasured acquisition for any collector, notably owned by Charles Darwin during his Beagle voyage.
