Excerpt from Observations in Meteorology: Relating to Temperature, the Winds, Atmospheric Pressure, the Aqueous Phenomena of the Atmosphere, Weather-Changes, Etc., Being Chiefly the Results of a Meteorological Journal Kept for Nineteen Years at Swaffham Bulbeck, in Cambridgeshire There are certain parts of the subject of Meteoro logy, which, not having been particularly attended to by the Author, are either entirely passed over, or 'but Slightly alluded to in this work. Such are the Optical and magnetic phenomena of the atmosphere, and those connected with atmospherical electricity. Some Of these phenomena occur but seldom; others are but imperfectly understood: while from their relation tog higher departments of science than are studied by most persons, they require less notice in a work in tended to serve for general purposes.

Leonard Jenyns (1800-93; he changed his name late in life to benefit from a legacy), was a clergyman, and a respected naturalist and zoologist. A distinguished member of a dozen scientific societies, he was educated at Eton, and then at St John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1822. During his tenure as vicar in Swaffham Bulbeck, he made important contributions to zoology, becoming one of the original members of the Zoological Society of London. In 1831, unwilling to spend years away from his parish responsibilities, he turned down the chance to travel as the naturalist on-board H.M.S. Beagle. Published in 1889, this is the second edition of Jenyns' autobiography, which he had first had privately printed. It starts with the major events of his life, then shares a series of scientific anecdotes, including his decision to recommend Darwin instead of himself as the naturalist for the Beagle voyage.

Excerpt from Memoir of the Rev. John Stevens Henslow, M.A., F. L. S., F. G. S., F. C. P. S: Late Rector of Hitcham, and Professor of Botany in the University of CambridgeIn the following Memoir of Professor Henslow, after giving such particulars of his early life as I was able to obtain, I have thrown together subjects of the same kind as much as possible, without regard to a strictly chronological arrangement. It is thought that the work will thus be rendered of more service to those who, from their own particular pursuits or professions, are likely to interest themselves in some of those subjects more than others.I have derived great assistance, throughout the whole, from Dr. Hooker, and the other members of Professor Henslow's family: indeed, without their friendly cooperation, the work could not have been undertaken. The Professor himself left behind him no journals or other papers that were available for the purpose. The materials had therefore to be gathered entirely from the recollections of his surviving relatives and friends, aided by his own publications, and a few other public documents.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Manual of British Vertebrate Animals, or Descriptions of All the Animals Belonging to the Classes, Mammalia, Aves, Reptilia, Amphibia, and Pisces, Which Have Been Hitherto Observed in the British Islands: Including the Domesticated, Naturalized, and Extirpated Species; The Whole Systematically ArangedHistory of British Animals by Dr. Fleming. This was completed in 1827 and published the year following, since which period a great variety of species have been added to the Fauna of this country, more particularly in the Class of Fish, though many occur in the Classes of Quadrupeds and Birds. As these additions have been already indicated in the Systematic Catalogue lately published by the author of the present work, it is unnecessary to dwell upon them individually. It may, however, afford interest to present a comparative view of the aggregate numbers of species in each Class, as they appear in the British Animals of Dr. Fleming and in the Manual now offered to the public.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
