Description

First Published in 1967. This is volume one of three of The History of Four- footed Beasts taken principally from the ' Historite Animalium' of Conrad Gesner.

During the first decade of the seventeenth century, when Topsell prepared his translation, zoology had just become a science.

It has a unique place: It was the first major book on animals printed in Great Britain in English; and it appeared at the last moment in history when all zoological knowledge since antiquity could be summarized sympathetically, before it was rendered a curiosity by the many new discoveries soon to come.
