About this book
Mrs. Loudon’s Entertaining Naturalist is described on its title page as popular descriptions, tales, and anecdotes of more than five hundred animals, in a new edition, revised and enlarged. The contents list names, among others, an Explanation of Terms Used in Natural History and an Appendix of Fabulous Animals. The text says the Echinides are the sea-urchins, properly so called, and that the shells, when the animals are out of them, are called sea-eggs.
Verse about the Lark is given in the text, among it “Up springs the Lark, Shrill-voiced and loud, the messenger of morn,” credited to Thomson. An entry headed The Woodlark says this species is smaller than the skylark, and its voice deeper. A section headed Arachnida says this Order, according to Lamarck and other modern zoologists, contains the Spiders, Scorpions, and Mites, which do not undergo any metamorphoses.
