Sinopsis
Excerpt from First Lessons in Zoology: Adapted for Use in Schools
The study of nature is the study of everything about us which we can perceive by our senses. Every object which we can see on the earth is either a mineral or a living body. Mineral bodies are not only stones, crystals, or sand, but they include the air, water, and gases. Minerals do not live; they are lifeless bodies, while plants and animals are living bodies. The study of natural history is the study of minerals and rocks, of plants and animals; or, in other words, of our earth and the minerals composing it, and of the plants and animals which have either once lived or are now living on its surface.

Excerpt from First Lessons in Zoology: Adapted for Use in Schools
In our larger museums there have been formed what are called "epitome collections," a single apartment containing a series of examples of the principal classes of the animal kingdom, so that, before entering the museum itself, the visitor may obtain some idea of the principal forms of animal life.
This excellent plan has been kept in view in the preparation of these "First Lessons," and followed out as well as circumstances would allow.
It differs from the authors two other text-books in Zoology - 1. In treating of still fewer examples or types, omitting representatives of a number of orders and classes described in his larger Zoology. 2. In using fewer technical terms and names. 3. In rendering the book an elementary guide to the principles of Biology, leading the student from facts to the principles, without tiring him with formal, general statements; the latter usually being printed in italics. 4. The subject, as a whole, is given in somewhat smaller compass. No boy or girl should leave school without at least as much knowledge of the life about us and of our own relations to the animal world, as should be found in a book of this sort. The teacher can carry a class through it in thirty days, or extend its use through a term, as the case may require. But this or any other book should not be used without specimens.
