Book Description
Excerpt from Goldsmith's History of Fishes, Reptiles, Insects &C: With Numerous Original Notes, &C. &C As most animals that live upon land are furnished with a covering to keep off the in juries Of the weather, so all that live in the water are co vered with a slimy glutinous matter, that, like a sheath, defends their bodies from the immediate contact Of the sur rounding fluid. This sub stance may be considered as a secretion from the pores of the animal's body; and serv ing not only to defend, but to assist the fish's easy progress through the water. Beneath this, in many kinds, is found a strong covering of scales, that, like a coat of mail, de fend it still more powerfully; and under that, before we come to the muscular parts Of the body, an Oily substance, which supplies the requisite warmth and vigour.

Book Description
Excerpt from Goldsmith's History of the Earth and Animated Nature: Abridged; Containing the Natural History of Animals, Birds, Fishes, Reptiles,& Insects; On the Plan Recommended by Miss. Hannah More; For the Use of Schools, and Youth of Both Sexes In abridging a Work of acknowledged celebrity, an Author must, in some degree, be liable to disrepute; for many beautiful descriptions must of course be mutilated, and many interesting remarks necessarily withheld. Doctor Goldsmith's History of Animated Nature is so justly and universally admired, that the slightest alteration in the original design may subject the Deviator to censure or disgrace; but whilst the Naturalist must admire his descriptions, the delicate mother may think them too replete, and fear that the young mind might be incited to investigate what ought only to be explained in maturer years. The following Work is presented to the Public, and particularly to those who have the instruction of Youth, as a faithful transcript of the Originals descriptions, though more completely adapted for the Use of Schools.
