Taxidermy.- Notes for "the preservation of birds and mammals", manuscript, c. 65pp. excluding blanks, in ink and pencil, original limp cloth, rubbed, 8vo, [c. 1860s].
⁂ A rare taxidermy manuscript, written, we are told, due to the fact that although "various books on taxidermy have been published, most if not all will be of very little use to the beginner" since they are limited to "the elephant, the deer and other large quadrupeds." The present work aims to be a practical guide designed to enable the reader to "prepare and preserve the smaller animals."
