3 Free eBooks – November 2016
/There are so many free eBooks to choose from. All three of my picks for this month are from HathiTrust.
Swainson, William. Zoological Illustrations. London: Baldwin and Cradock. 1832. Available from HathiTrust here and three additional volumes on Internet Archive here. The illustrations are a subset of zoology: ‘ornithology, entomology, conchology’ as advertised in the subtitle. I like the red and white shells…color and shape.
Jardine, William. The natural history of gallinaceous birds. Edinburgh: W.H. Lizars. 1834. Available from HathiTrust here. The first illustration in the book was of a wild turkey! I decided to choose another bird just to be different before Thanksgiving. There are some beautiful birds in this groups (much more colorful that our domestic chickens and turkeys).
