THE PREFACE. _____________ “The object of this work is so fully given in the title-page, that little more remains to be said in the preface. Beginning with the simplest and most natural form of habitation, namely, a burrow in the ground, the work proceeds in the following order: —2d, those creatures that suspend their homes in the air ; 3d, those creatures that are real builders, forming their domiciles of mud, stones, sticks, and similar materials ; 4th, those which make their habitations beneath the surface of the water, whether salt or fresh ; 5th, those that live socially in communities ; 6th, those which are parasitic upon animals or plants ; 7th, those which build on branches. The last chapter treats of miscellanea, or those habitations which could not be well classed in either of the preceding groups. In all these classes a definite order has been preserved, the Mammalia having precedence, and being followed in regular order by the other members of the group. Thus, in the few chapters, which treat of the Burrowers, the following system has been observed :—First comes Man, the chief of all mammalia, and in due zoological order follow the Moles and Shrews, the Foxes, the Weasels, the Rodents, and the Edentates. The White Bear Alone is removed from its legitimate place, on account of its singular habitation in the snow. The Burrowing Birds come next in order, those which burrow in the earth taking precedence of those which make holes in the wood. Burrowing Reptiles follow next in order ; and then come the Burrowing Invertebrates, headed by the Crustacea. The same system is followed throughout, so as to give the reader a clear and definite idea of the subject. For this reason, a table of contents is appended to the work, as well as an alphabetical index ; the one to enable the reader to form a general conception of the subject, and the other to enable him to find out any particular creature. On pursuing the work, the attentive reader will probably discover that various animals are placed in one class when they might very well be placed in another. The reason is, that many creatures, such as the wasp, the ant, the squirrel, etc., might with equal propriety find a place in several of these classes, and I have therefore placed them in that class of which, some peculiarity in nest-making renders them fit illustrators. I must now return my thanks to the many friends who have assisted me in the work by the loan or gift of specimens, or by affording valuable information. Especially J GOULD, Esq., who kindly took an interest in the ornithological portion of the work ; F. SMITH of the British Museum ; and the late CHARLES WATERTON, Esq., who permitted me the use of his museum, and gave me much interesting and useful information. THE REV. J. G. WOOD, M.A.,F.L.S., Etc., 1866 This is such a One-of-a-Kind book. The Art is peerless and must have been a strong dose of WONDER to the 1866 reader! The condition of this 651-page, very intact, book is part of its charm. Rev Wood’s writing style is “homey” and a pleasure to experience. I was taken by the Darwinian style in his describing of so much minute detail in nature. And his compassionate knowledge. This first edition was published six years after “On the Origin of Species”. “An Oxford-educated clergyman and prolific writer on natural history topics ranging from seashore wildlife to microscopy, John George Wood (1827–89) wrote and lectured for a receptive Victorian audience. His books were not rigorously scientific, but they made their subjects accessible to laypeople and were said to have inspired many future naturalists in their youth. Theodore Wood (1862–1923) published this biography of his father in 1890. The account covers Wood’s childhood and education, his clerical work and his desire to share his enthusiasm for the natural world with the public. His lecturing engagements, including a tour of America, and his home life are also discussed. An affectionate portrait of a significant figure in the history of popular science that sheds light on the intellectual interests of its subject and his readership.”
