Animal and Vegetable Physiology 2 Volume Paperback Set

Under the terms of the will of the Oxford scholar Francis Henry, Earl of Bridgewater (1756-1829), a series of books was commissioned, designed to contribute to an understanding of the world as created by God. In 1834 Peter Roget contributed a two-volume treatise to that controversial series, which formed part of the complex intellectual background to Darwin's work on evolution.
