Product Description

The Second Supplement to the First Edition of the History of British Fishes is a comprehensive book written by William Yarrell in 1860. The book is a continuation of Yarrell's earlier work, which was first published in 1836. It provides a detailed account of the fish species found in the waters around the British Isles, including their physical characteristics, habitats, and behaviors. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different group of fish. These include flatfish, round fish, cartilaginous fish, and shellfish. Each section provides detailed descriptions of the different species within that group, along with illustrations and diagrams to help readers identify them. In addition to its scientific content, the book also includes historical and cultural information about the fishing industry in Britain. Yarrell discusses the different methods of fishing used in the past and present, as well as the various ways in which fish have been used for food, medicine, and other purposes throughout history. Overall, the Second Supplement to the First Edition of the History of British Fishes is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the marine life of the British Isles. Its detailed descriptions, illustrations, and historical context make it a fascinating read for both scientists and laypeople alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
