Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural History

Bag om Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural History

William Swainson (1789-1855) considers here the successful pursuit of zoology. Emphasising the key importance of taxonomy, Swainson advocated the now defunct 'quinary' system of classification. More than a mere historical curiosity, this work was one of the many which provided an intellectual context for the theory of evolution.
